Sex workers are claiming that Twitter, where they have had access to advertising their industry, is cracking down on them and making it far more difficult to ply their trade.

The owner of an industry trade show had her account suspended in December and stated that she contacted Twitter with an appeal but never heard back. She told Rolling Stone, “I wrote that we’ve been a small business for 20 years and losing this account is devastating to my business and my ability to connect with my customers. I was crying. I was so upset.”
