Providers and performers take note!
A sex worker I know that keeps up with this kind of thing just turned me on to this latest horror that attacks them via the pocketbook.

Re: Providers and performers take note!
Misogynists are compiling massive databases of sex workers in an effort to threaten, harm, and harass them for making a living.
People participating in the viral harassment campaign known as #ThotAudit seek to make it more difficult for those in the sex trade to work. It started with calls to report sex workers to the Internal Revenue Services for tax fraud through the IRS whistleblower program, but has morphed into efforts to attack and intimidate these women in general. Harassers have begun reporting sex workers to payment processors like PayPal and Circle Pay, which have historically been hostile toward adult content.
"I never once thought that one of my innocent joke posts made to make my friends laugh would turn out to start a crusade against sex workers"
To streamline the process, they’re compiling databases of sex workers, scraped from platforms like Chaturbate, cam sites, and Kik as well as social media platforms like Twitter. It appears as though these databases are being made with automated scripts.
One of the largest databases Motherboard was able to find, on 8chan, contained more than 166,000 entries and included screen names, full names (although it’s unclear if any of these are legal names or are accurate), locations, links to wish lists, individuals’ payment processors, and bios. Other spreadsheets break the databases down by individuals’ payment processors and what they use. Motherboard was able to find and download four different databases.
All of this is publicly-available information, but complied in this way, makes it easier for people to find, threaten, and harm the people on the lists.
#ThotAudit began with a joke post that someone made as a Facebook status in late November, about being audited by the IRS for Snapchat revenue. It was then picked up by misogynists and went viral on Twitter, Facebook, and other social platforms and went from being a joke to something that puts sex workers in danger.
