ANNOUNCEMENT : All Escort Channels have been removed.

I wonder how dating sites will fare through all of this, because you do have the occasional person looking for clients through them? I guess online dating will go away too.

Backpage hasn’t removed anything yet...weird.

just a matter of time. they won’t risk their mainstream business by keeping up a personals section that is a potential legal liability

Dating sites will just need to monitor the advertising and remove ones that are considered sex work.

even tho I dont partake a whole lot in this hobby the escort review thread was my favorites......oh well...total bummer

What a lost for us. The site and the forum has been a great contribution for my growth and success in the industry. Though it has its negatives, the positives were much more vibrant.

Sad

Read a little more of the bill, will read it when I have more time, but the standard it sets from the actions of intent is purposeful and knowing, which is a very high standard that means the they created a website with the intention of promoting or facilitating prostitution. Still, there is a free speech argument in there possiblly. Doesn't matter escorting in the US is about to get super quiet.

Lucky for all the girls scamming and ripping off clients ! we now can't even warn others dam..

[megajimbo69]

I'll miss you all. Maybe we'll chat when the more persistent among us discover a way around this. It's getting harder all the time to be free, and to stay free.

Wow, a lot of legal ramifications here. MILF who is widowed and horny puts an ad on Dating website.com. Very explicit ad. Website removes ad as they see as an Escort trolling for business. She sues. Who wins?
