Terms of Services (ToS)\"\"<\/strong><\/h1>\n
What is it<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

ToS stands for Terms of Services, in Dutch gebruiksvoorwaarden, which are terms of use. You know, that little check mark you so carelessly place when you start using a service on an online platform. Next time, read it for fun to see if there's anything in there that makes your eyebrows go up as a sex worker. That sentence is almost always at the very bottom so you can scroll through all those pages very quickly.<\/p>\n

Example words from such a text: \"obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, profane, indecent, discriminating, threatening, abusive, harmful, lewd, vulgar, or unlawful\"<\/p>\n

What it can mean for a sex worker<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

The words in a ToS are rather vague, perhaps your piece will soon fall under \"obscene\" or \"vulgar. But if you are suddenly excluded from a service, you rarely if ever find out. Suddenly you don't have access anymore, you've lost something or something doesn't work. If you complain, you also almost never get a decent answer about what you did wrong. There is also no person behind who decides something like that, it is the words that the system uses.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the recently opened accounts of the Digital Advisor were also blocked on Instagram and Facebook. Nothing 'vulgar' or obscene to speak of, but just the word sex work is enough for a block. It is hugely damaging to the community that simply providing information is also made impossible.<\/p>\n
