Filming porn isn't prostitution nor a sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Hope this helps.

The area seems greyer when, as happens in some operations, one person A is getting paid to have sex, and the other person B having the sex is paying person A, even if B is filming the sex and selling the video.

		If they wanted to make that point, then they should have made that point instead of quoting a snippet of legislation of dubious relevance to an article that devoted more lines to chess influencers, fashion influencers, and musicians, than porn stars.

I think it's naïve to think that these girls are only very strictly selling feet images and are not in the business of having sex for money as well.

Especially when you consider the top-heavy success distribution. Sure there's influencers that have 100M views, but theres thousands of influencers with 300 views, are they going to be just happy with selling pictures for 10 bucks? Or will they follow the whales until they are paid to be flown into the prostitution assembly line, with or without visas.

		Apparently porn is sex for money, but legally it's not prostitution. So in that case, these OF influencers can just bill their private services as coaching lessons for aspiring actors. No one said law was consistent or made sense.

You see comrade, the government represents all of us, so when the government deems something beneficial and worth doing we all benefit /s

Me dumping oil on the ground -> bad.

megacorp paying some engineers to make up a number for just how much oil is ok to dump on the ground and paying for government permission -> good

Diddy flying hoes around -> bad

OF models paying the .gov to fly around -> good

(I'm joking here, but not nearly as much as I wish I was)

		>OF models paying the .gov to fly around -> good Yes, with Republican govs, they can pay the government directly for a Golden Visa. But with Democrat governments it's a bit more fair, they have to pay an immigration lawyer at 300$/hr with John money to get in instead. /s At least it's better than them going in with a B1 visa and doing whatever. Sorry for the politics dang.
