When the government requires internet use so citizens can perform any of their rights (or obligations) towards said government then they must ensure such access is available. Also, when a service has become such an integral part of the citizenry lives for communications, health and other needs then again, govt musty ensure such access is available.
One of the fears was the chilling effects it would cause in speech and innovation making sites proactively avoid moderating and closing up services due to fear of being targeted. So yes, it's SESTA at fault here.

"What's the problem? How am you or I harmed? "
Even if you and Mike weren't harmed there's plenty of people being harmed, not only honest sex workers and their customers. I've been seeing stories about people who met via CL popping up all around and ended up building a family.
This kind of question is typical of sociopaths who can't see beyond their own noses.
Terrorists have won. Even if they don't build their own califate or whatever you call it, they have succeeded into eroding the rights and the freedom we once held dear. Dark times.
Re: You worry too much. Millions of other songs clearly not similar.
Perhaps it's because most the things that would cause mayhem have been stopped in their tracks? As an example, when the SOPA debate was in full swing TD penned up many articles detailing the harms it would cause. In the end, a lot of activism and popular engagement prevented it from becoming law. The doomsday scenario TD warned us couldn't happen if the bill hadn't made through.
We do have examples of stuff TD predicted that became reality. The best that comes to mind right now is in the broadband front. While the nay-sayers were predicting municipal efforts were a fad Mike was saying they could work and that they were a symptom of the dystopian scenario that broadband is in the US. Or when incumbent ISPs magically started improving where competition arrived from Google Fiber. One thing is to be your usual "OMG THIS NEW THING WAS BORUGHT BY THE DEVIL" like the MAFIAA does to every innovation out there. The other is to give a thorough and balanced analysis of what's coming. The first is FUD, the second is journalism. I read TD regularly because they do the second quite well.
Yeah, yeah, we know, you are the master of all knowledge and you hold all solutions to all problems (even though I have yet to see you suggest anything). Happy? Go away now, will you?
I guess if Facebook starts being transparent on how user information is handled people will be up in arms. Reminds me of the Android permissions issue. Google also started doing a piss poor job (it actually still needs to improve a bunch). Same case, much less outrage.

They should try to eradicate gravity, it's a major cause of orthopedic injury. And I suspect it's a more feasible goal ;)
