It does say though:

 

The office will continue to prosecute other crimes related to prostitution, including patronizing sex workers, promoting prostitution and sex trafficking, and said that its policy would not stop it from bringing other charges that stem from prostitution-related arrests.

So they still will be doing stings with fake online ads.

True, because if they continue to go after the "Johns" and those that patronize sex workers then it's not much help!

Yes that’s why I wrote sex workers and not stop prosecuting prostitution

Yes but it sounds like it’s being de prioritized in general; maybe I’m too optimistic in thinking less focus and less stings etc...
