Assembly Four: We are a collective of sex workers and technologists.

Assembly Four was foun­ded on the belief that impact is more impor­tant than profit. We strongly beli­eve that having the ability to make deci­si­ons about our bodies and sexual lives is a funda­men­tal human right. Anyone should be able to make these choi­ces without fear, violence or discri­mi­na­tion. Sex workers are still figh­ting for this right.

In colla­bo­ra­tion with sex workers across the globe, we create products and servi­ces that help them thrive, not just survive. We are a small team with a speci­a­li­sed unders­tan­ding of the complex challen­ges workers face and are dedi­ca­ted to provi­ding solu­ti­ons to amplify their voices.

All in one adver­ti­sing for Escorts

Step­ping away from clunky design and care­less­ness of tradi­ti­o­nal ad plat­forms, Tryst is a refres­hing change in both presen­ta­tion and mission. Desig­ned not only to provide workers with an easy way to manage clients, but also with privacy, safety and secu­rity at the top of our prio­rity list. Tryst, like Swit­ter, has been built while avoi­ding the use of US compa­nies, prio­ri­ti­sing the privacy of the workers who reside on our plat­forms.

Although early days, we are proud to say that we have alre­ady imple­men­ted featu­res that radi­cally change the way escorts adver­tise, inclu­ding wider opti­ons around gender and race, dedi­ca­ted disclo­sure opti­ons for trans­gen­der workers, and in-plat­form messa­ging.

A sex work-friendly social plat­form.

Early 2018 saw the passing of US law FOSTA/SESTA which resul­ted in the mass culling of milli­ons of sex workers world­wide from the inter­net. This resul­ted in thou­sands of people in heigh­te­ned risk of physi­cal harass­ment, violence, and even death. We star­ted Swit­ter as the first step to giving Sex Workers their auto­nomy back.

Swit­ter has amas­sed over 200,000 users with over 5.5 million status posted in a mere 10 months. The space is open to anyone invol­ved in the sex industry; provi­ders, clients, and allies. It is an open and free commu­nity where sex workers have the ability to connect, adver­tise and screen.

Swit­ter is built on Masto­don,  the world’s largest free, open-source decen­tra­li­sed micro­blog­ging network.
