Biden's FCC nominee Gigi Sohn sits on board of nonprofit that honored dominatrix trends now
Gigi Sohn, President Biden's pick for a vacant seat on the Federal Communications Commission, is a proud member of a nonprofit that wants to uphold sex work online, and which honors sex workers including a dominatrix who boasts about urinating on people's faces.
The organization is called the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Designed to protect free speech online, it protested against SESTA - a legislation introduced under the Trump administration - that cracks down on sex trafficking in 2017, claiming it would 'censor' sex work.
Sohn, 61, took her seat on the EFF's board in 2018, two years before the organization honored a sex worker called Mistress Blunt.
Blunt, who sells her work on OnlyFans and other sites, was celebrated in 2020 with the EFF's 'Pioneer Award'.

They have since partnered together again to protect sex workers' 'digital rights'.
Sohn is up for a seat on the FCC for the second time, but the vote on whether or not she'll be sworn in remains in a deadlock.
If she is given the position, she would tip the board's Democratic majority.
Blunt did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries.
A spokesman for EFF told DailyMail.com that Sohn had no role in selecting Blunt for the Pioneer Award.
When asked if Sohn had indicated whether she'll step down from the EFF if confirmed, the nonprofit's spokesman said: 'You'd have to ask her that.'
On her social media pages, she boasts about being able to teach 'c**ksucking techniques'.
