ANNOUNCEMENT : All Escort Channels have been removed.

[flabbybody]

Seeing how the other threads are still live, can't HA admins just renamed the "NY Escort Review" title thread to exclude the word "escort"? How does the new US congress bill apply to scan sites or threads that would be considered Sex Trafficking? They have had to setup looking up keywords.

If people posted links to escort ads in their reviews it might be a legal risk. I don’t think anyone is really sure how exactly the new bill applies to businesses but no one’s too keen on becoming a test case.

I doubt that would work because there will still be incriminating words in the posts - try googling 'escorts hung angels' to see what I mean. But the key point is that there is no upside for Grooby in taking such a risk.

Therapeutic section and Lessons sections still on CL.
Expect a large amount of newly non-licensed TS masseuses in your area. LOL

Forgive the laughter, I am just old enough to remember the days when they all posted in Screw magazine or the Village Voice........

[MaxB63]

Wonder about Adultwork?

I believe it's based in Malta, definitely not US in any case.

[Torris]

some of those threads in that review section were very hot and interesting...sick of the Christian sharia warriors in this country trying to limit the American people's freedoms..hypocrites...

Once again, it is not just the religious right who sponsored and supported this. It also came from the Nanny State Leftists. You know, the ones who want to ban 44 ounce sodas. Because it is “for your own good.”

I had this out only last week. The "Left" get the blame for it in the UK too but the very highly paid Civil servants (£150-200K +per year) who implement this garbage are not from the Left! We haven't had a left wing Government in this fucking place for 40 years & it's going crazy! Neither have you have you?

[give us a t please bob]

absolutely gutted about this but a big thank you to Steven and all the moderators. I will really miss this invaluable source, the end of an era.

Sorry for the long post, but I saw this in the TER Forum and thought it to be very useful and informative.



The Senate Just Passed a Bill That Puts Sex Workers In Danger.

The SESTA-FOSTA bill makes platforms more liable for their users’ speech, and that’s not good for anyone.
The internet just became a more hostile place for sex workers, victims of sex trafficking, and fans of internet freedom: The Senate voted 97-2 to pass SESTA on Wednesday, making websites liable for what their users say and do on their platforms.

The solution is to go the other way, to legalize and regulate sex work!

We are safe for US providers!

We are based in Europe, we do not have offices or call centers in US, we are hosting in Europe (in Amsterdam, because the Netherlands has long been a leader in the battle for privacy and data protection), and charging through EU banks (Switzerland and Germany) no connection to US, we are safe for US providers.
xxxxx is an international website, but we do get the most traffic from the US.
Our current US Alexa rank is around 21,000

Here is a list of solutions and direct resources to assist you.

It could take from 90 days until 2019 for SESTA and FOSTA to go into action, so keep calm and use that time to change things.
We’ve always been smarter and we will survive!

Build your Escort Website on Wordpress and host overseas in a Switzerland, Netherland or Australian based web host where sex work is legal. Netherlands hosting reviews.

We recommend Excelnode.
It is the best offshore adult web hosting, prostitution in the Netherlands is legal and regulated.
The price is very low, only $2.99/month. You will get a free cPanel, 24/7 support, they solve all problems within a minute.
99.9% uptime, and they offer free migration.

Do not use .com, .net, or .org.
Regardless of where your site is hosted, US has total jurisdiction over those domains.
ICANN.Org has a comprehensive list of alternative top level domains that the US doesn't control. (pick a domain in a country where sex work is legal)
We will do the same.

For your domain names use a registrar outside the US.
You can choose it from this list.

Encrypt Everything!
Google might be under pressure to crack down on consensual sex workers. This applies to both regular accounts and Google suites accounts.
Use ProtonMail for email. Make 2 accounts, one primary and one recovery.
Encourage clients to do the same so your communications are encrypted.
Use a TOR browser.

Don't use iCloud or Google Drive for your images.
Do not store your content on Google Drive. This is a violation of their TOS and they may delete your account without warning.
Google is legally allowed to hand over your data to the police whenever they wish, or LE can purchase your data from them like any other customer.

With the patriot act, the government can request any of your private information.
Also, it's generally not a good idea to accept google gift cards from clients because if they dispute the charge or report the card stolen, it can make you unable to claim cards in the future.
SpiderOak is an encrypted photo cloud service.

Boxcryptor allows you to encrypt files before uploading them to your cloud service and works with Google Drive and iCloud.
It protects your data in the cloud with end-to-end encryption.

Encrypt your website, make sure it has SSL (secure socket layers)
Anyone who owns a domain name can use Let’s Encrypt to obtain a trusted certificate at zero cost.

Install a VPN an all of your mobile devices and computers.
Use VPN servers to hide web traffic.
TunnelBear has a free/cheap and very easy to use VPN.

Never use your personal phone.
Use a burner phone for work calls and text only.
Don't publish this number online unless you don't mind disposing of it.
If it's published, don't travel with this phone.

Clean up your websites and social media of any key terms and abbreviations (gfe, pse, incall,...etc) be vague.
It may lose clients, but better safe than sorry.

Don't post nudes or anything detailed about work on social media, try to make your account seem like a "normal" one.

Get certified as some type of consultant (happiness, sex, relationship, life,...etc) and market yourself as that.
Don't brand yourself as an escort.

Be careful of where you advertise.
Rewrite your ads, especially on sites based in the US. (the safest is to remove your ads from US based websites)
Avoid trigger words and anything sexually explicit.

xxxxx is based in Europe and has structures in place that act to protect anyone who uses the website especially the providers.
When registering with xxxxxx no IDs are collected, escorts are not obliged to verify their profiles but those who do choose to verify their profiles all verification information is immediately deleted from the servers and no backups are kept. It is the best way to ensure that advertisers are SAFE and can run their businesses without having to worry about a possible breach of data.
We are cautious about how we encrypt and store the data, we do not give out ANY information to third party companies, especially not for a company based in the US, so there is no chance data can be taken from us. We already updated our servers, and to protect you and your data even better we were migrating some data to a new hosting, where not only the servers are offshore (in Amsterdam, because the Netherlands has long been a leader in the battle for privacy and data protection) but all connected companies as well, so like this no data will be accessible in any way.

Consider locking your website for screened clients only.
If not the entire site, then donation pages.

Have a warning contract at the enter page to your site. Make it more detailed than just requiring viewers to be 18 plus.
State that money is a donation for your time only. That your site isn't a solicitation for prostitution in any form.
That they will not use your site or ads as a mean for entrapment or arrest.
Make sure it's clear that it's a contract that they agree to by contacting you.

Pay your taxes! Register your brand as a LLC so it's a legal business.

Communicate what is going on with your clients and friends so they are aware.
Strongly advise them to only communicate with you through encrypted methods such as ProtonMail.

Never store your money in online US based accounts.

Do not post cell phone pictures from the hotel you are staying at unless there is nothing that identifies that room.

And please, don't panic. Be extremely careful, don't show your face right now, use a VPN at all times.

The current uncertainty surrounding SESTA and other US-based escort ad platforms has left many US providers wondering if their businesses will be around for much longer. Many of you think it's getting scary, and you are getting tired of trying to figure out new sites to advertise on. We are up, and functioning, and not going anywhere!

Advertising cost in the sex industry is so high. Some of the other websites prices are absolutely insane, some just doubled their advertising prices.
We are still very budget-friendly, and try to stay that way.
We still have a free ad option, and we offer some of the most cost effective adult advertising packages on the internet.

SESTA/FOSTA passed the Senate. This bill is a bad digital policy and bad for the safety of sex workers.
We are here to support you!

I too am gutted about this. What an invaluable resource the review section has been for me and so many others. Including the girls themselves, those that offer a great service. I am growing weary of dictats, political sledgehammers that piss on the fires of fun. What a sad world we are living in.

I am gutted about the review section being lost on here. I have always thought that the reviews on here have been very very fair.

As an escort, the reviews left for me on here I have been very complimented about what has been said. I am not the best TS escort and I wont ever be, I have provided a good steady service at a good steady price. After reading this I know that reviews will be left on ukpunting. I am not happy about this at all. The reviews that are left on there are fierce, unfair, picky and very aggressive. Guys that have left positive reviews have been banned and the posts deleted, they have been called wimps, white knights, arse lickers etc etc.

I have been very happy to mentioned on here and has been taken as a compliment, I do not wish and now I fear being reviewed on ukpunting as it has the ability to ruin my business.

I understand why this has happened on hung angels, I think its a great shame for a great site and to the nice guys who come on here. Its a resource that will truly be missed.

All my love to the guys on here, take care
