FOSTA-SESTA Compliance

Protect your platform from liability by detecting and removing content that promotes or facilitates sex trafficking.

What is FOSTA-SESTA?

The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) are U.S. laws that create exceptions to Section 230 immunity for platforms that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking.

Platforms can be held liable for third-party content that promotes or facilitates sex trafficking, making proactive content moderation essential.

Platform Liability

FOSTA-SESTA creates an exception to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which previously provided broad immunity to platforms for user-generated content.

Platforms can now face federal and state criminal charges, as well as civil liability, if they knowingly facilitate sex trafficking through their services.

Proactive content moderation demonstrates good faith efforts to prevent trafficking content and reduces legal exposure.
