Looks like backpage is off line

They need to change the name of the bill from SESTA to just SES.

Setting aside the legitimate rationale of stopping the sexual exploitation of children.

This is where you and everyone else both liberal and conservative get totally derailed. There is absolutely no legitimacy of stopping the sexual exploitation of children. None whatsoever. Our lawmakers that you all voted for have found a loophole in the system. If you write up a bill in the name of protecting children, it will pass. It's currently being done with other things like vaping and gun control. If it's done out of the guise of saving children, it will win every single time.

Stay tuned for more rights being stepped on in the name of children.

Now, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but fuck the children. That's a parents job. They just need to learn to do their job. Raising children takes much more work than buying an Xbox and putting the controller in a child's hands. Just sayin.

The takedown of BP didn't involve SESTA/FOSTA, its been going on for months. SESTA/FOSTA suck because it can look at past behavior once its signed

I understand your point but the deliberate conflation of child trafficking and consensual sex work is anything but legitimate. Unfortunately the intellectually dishonest arguments have won out and those who oppose nonsense legislation like SESTA/FOSTA are painted as immoral degenerates and child trafficking enablers. It's the same tactic the pro-life religious nuts used for eons to demonize pro-choice "baby killers". Also I don't think transgender women were any more blatant in advertising than female escorts on CL/Backpage; The "BUT THE CHILDREN!!!" argument is what made this pass with virtually no political opposition. Children are political pawns for both the left and the right.

I know how profitable DC is for escorts and I really hope providers start exposing these hypocritical assholes.

BUT THE CHILDREN
LOL so true last_stop.
How can I call my senator (cunt Kristen Gillerbrand) to complain about her SESTA support without sounding like a sceeve?
”excuse me madam, your new law is disingenuous and dishonest. It doesn’t help kids caught up in sex trafficking, it actually makes their lot more dangerous. And by the way, I’d like to suck my favorite trans girl’s dick but there’s no more internet sites to find her on”
we’re basically fucked.

A few points: the most vulnerable children who have been trafficked either have no parents and have been in foster care or care homes, or live in dysfunctional homes where it may even be the parent/parents selling their children for money, to support a drug habit, desperation or whatever.

I don't know if the arrested owners of Backpage and Craigslist are going to fight their cases in court, but the allegation that 'codes' were used in ads that indicated customers could purchase an underage person for sexual purposes seems to me, as the key element in the legal case, to need proof beyond doubt, but I assume legally, a knowledge on the part of the owners of the sites that this was happening. Even if they turned a 'blind eye' to people selling dope -which in the case of hash is now legal in some states anyway- I doubt they would have knowingly allowed ads that offered underage sex. If they did then they are plain stupid.

Lastly, is it not ironic that Congress appears to be going 'Puritan' -a revival of the Hays Code of 1928 may not be far behind- at the very moment the White House is occupied by a man with no morals at all, a sleazy, dirty old man with the literacy of a 2 year old and an insatiable need to transfer dollars from working Americans into his own pocket-? One wonders how many hookers have entertained this creep in his lonely bedroom in the White House. One thing is for sure, he didn't use Backpage or Craigslist.

maybe change it to 'perform oral' and i think you can make a case.
even worse for us in the uk - being messed about by american laws.

Protecting schools isn't a priority and DeVos in power, I don't see how that's really protecting children!
