Uptight conservatives: Your sexual desires are "sinful"
Uptight progressives: Your sexual desires are "problematic"
The former group certainly tends to have more power, but the latter are somewhat annoying because they're harder to spot and avoid. But unfortunately, certain legislation cannot be avoided.
This bill killed the greatest source of incredibly-specific sexual encounters and exploration the internet has ever known: Craigslist Casual Encounters. Whether you were looking for a man, woman, other, or a group, or so on, whether you sought something vanilla or a combination of kinks you made up in your dreams the night before, you could advertise it or seek it there. Ads could contain nudity, you could view them publicly, you could message people through anonymous email relay without making an account - and it all happened openly (yet with privacy) on a well-known website that people used for all sorts of things. Nothing else on the internet today compares and it's likely impossible to recreate.
The pendulum always swings back. What the legacy of metoo shows is that holding others to some idealized moral standard means also being held to that same standard. Winning is not without costs.
