| dbo:abstract | The FOSTA (Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) and SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) are the U.S. Senate and House bills that became law on April 11, 2018. They clarify the country's sex trafficking law to make it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate, or support sex trafficking, and amend the Section 230 safe harbors of the Communications Decency Act (which make online services immune from civil liability for the actions of their users) to exclude enforcement of federal or state sex trafficking laws from its immunity. Senate sponsor Rob Portman had previously led an investigation into the online classifieds service Backpage (which had been accused of facilitating child sex trafficking), and argued that Section 230 was protecting its "unscrupulous business practices" and was not designed to provide immunity to websites that facilitate sex trafficking. SESTA received bipartisan support from U.S. senators, the Internet Association, as well as companies such as 21st Century Fox and Oracle, who supported the bill's goal to encourage proactive action against illegal sex trafficking. SESTA was criticized by pro-free speech groups for weakening section 230 safe harbors, alleging that it would make providers become liable for any usage of their platforms that facilitates sex trafficking, knowingly if they moderate for such content, and with reckless disregard if they do not proactively take steps to prevent such usage. SESTA was incorporated into the House version of the bill with the "Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act" (FOSTA) and the joint proposal was known as the "FOSTA-SESTA package". On February 27, 2018, the FOSTA-SESTA package was passed in the House of Representatives with a vote of 388–25. On March 21, 2018, the FOSTA-SESTA package bill passed the Senate with a vote of 97–2, with only senators Ron Wyden and Rand Paul voting against it. The bill was signed into law by President Donald Trump on April 11, 2018. (en) Les lois Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) et Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) sont deux législations américaines qui, sous le nom de FOSTA-SESTA package, entrent en vigueur le 11 avril 2018. Elles clarifient les lois relatives au trafic sexuel aux États-Unis et interdisent d'aider, de faciliter ou de soutenir, en connaissance de cause, la traite sexuelle ; elles portent des amendements à la section 203 du Communications Decency Act (qui exonérait de toute responsabilité civile les fournisseurs de services en ligne concernant les actes de leurs utilisateurs) pour lever l'immunité quant à l'application des lois, au niveau fédéral ou au niveau d'un État, concernant la traite sexuelle. La loi est présentée par le sénateur Rob Portman, qui avait auparavant lancé une enquête sur les petites annonces de Backpage (site web accusé de favoriser le trafic sexuel contre les enfants) ; il soutient que la section 230 permettait de protéger des « pratiques commerciales douteuses » alors qu'elle n'avait pas vocation à offrir une immunité aux sites web qui facilitent le trafic sexuel. Le SESTA bénéficie de l'appui de sénateurs américains des deux partis, de l'Internet Association et de diverses sociétés comme 21st Century Fox et Oracle. Le SESTA est intégré dans le projet de loi, en même temps que le FOSTA (Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) et les deux projets sont présentés, conjointement, sous le nom de FOSTA-SESTA package. Le 27 février 2018, la Chambre des représentants adopte la loi par 388 voix favorables contre 25 défavorables. Le 21 mars 2018, le Sénat adopte la loi par 97 voix contre 2 (seuls Ron Wyden et Rand Paul s'y sont opposés). Le 11 avril 2018, le président Donald Trump signe la loi. (fr) |
