Reclaiming Power: Sex Work, Justice & Norma Buster’s Fight Against Online Abuse | Ep 83

Reclaiming Power: Sex Work, Justice & Norma Buster’s Fight Against Online Abuse | Ep 83

What if your most intimate moments were weaponized against you—and no one cared?

At 19, Norma Buster thought she was just ending a relationship. Instead, she became the target of relentless stalking, threats, and the ultimate violation: her private photos exposed online. She turned to the law for justice. It failed her, but she didn’t back down. Now, as Chief of Staff at CA Goldberg and host of Oral Arguments, Norma is fighting tech-facilitated abuse, exposing legal loopholes, and demanding change.

In this episode, we dive into her harrowing journey from victim to advocate. Why do abusers get more protection than victims? How do tech platforms keep enabling harm? And what can we do about it?

We’ll also explore the blurred lines between online sex work and exploitation, the problem with calling it “revenge porn,” and how Norma found power in the unlikeliest of places—including OnlyFans.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a wake up call. Are you ready? Let’s get into it!
