Mission Statement
Malcolm X spoke about newspapers making people hate the oppressed and love the oppressors, and how mis-education hinders a nation's potential.
About US ho-workresearch.org
We offer intellectual self-defense in and around sex work, organizing and the billionaire class. We follow the money here. Led by people who have real skin in the game, no brothel owners, no platform owners, no billionaires and no capitalist distortion. We are real sex workers, anarchists, and allies, our articles go beyond corporate narratives and social media propaganda to look at reality.
Our Focus:
Identifying and combating "cultural weapons" that create informational asymmetry, attack our shared history and divide us.
Advocating for activism spaces that are independent of the billionaire class, federal government, mainstream media and institutions like Harvard Business School. We seek a true counterculture. Where is it?
Protecting and honoring sex workers and their money!
Fighting corporate greed, brothels and violence.
Upholding data privacy and personal sovereignty.
Critically examining the economic impact of decriminalization on poor and working class women.
Acknowledging that globalization, data and big Tech are total game changers. This isn’t your grandma’s sex work. As always “Do your Ho-work”
-Sincerely, Regina George

The Information War is Here
In 1970, Canadian cultural theorist Marshall McLuhan predicted: "World War III will be a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.” We are living that war right now.
In politics, it’s corporate Democrats vs. corporate Republicans—different labels, same agenda. In the nonprofit world of sex work policy, it’s no different. We suspect a global pattern: billionaires reshaping laws across borders. When wealth is this concentrated, and politics this bought, real freedom gets harder to find.

Big Tech, Globalization, and the New Era of Control
Big Tech and globalization have completely changed the game—this is not your grandfather's capitalism. Sex workers aren’t the only ones losing control over their own business data. Big Tech giants now own, analyze, sort, and extract value from our information, profiting from what was once a private and personal exchange. This is more than capitalism—this is techno-feudalism (Varoufakis 2023). Sexual behavior, once an intrinsic part of life, has become a privately owned commodity.
"Technofeudalism" is characterized by the dominance of powerful technology companies, which function as "digital lords" controlling vast digital territories and data.
I was alienated from my labor, unable to control my own work, or granted access to the economic value I produced. This is my story.
