>You're literally telling other people to stop doing stuff that you don't want them doing

Telling people to respect the privacy you're awarded by law is nto telling them what to do.

Yeah it is. It literally is.

The laws themselves were written to tell people what to do. That's why they come with actual punishments if you break them, not merely arguements like on the internet. And some of those laws do actually ban various acts associated with prostitution, though the stated reasons for such laws are also often out of sync with the consequences given what is easiest to prosecute.
