They’re anti-trafficking laws created with relatively good intent. Pretty much unanimously passed the house and senate and got signed into law with little debate. But one thing they do is require website operators to hyper-moderate interactions on any site with potential matchmaking services, to a degree that no matchmaking service could be profitable while doing so unless it operated in the style of a dumbed down swipe-left-or-right service like Tinder.
