Bet the feds don't have the balls to bust all the instagram soft pros, seeking arrangement soft pros, etc etc. Backpage girls look nasty, drugged out, and diseased some people truly are desperate.

I, for one, am not hurt by this... Except for the whole hijacking of rights and stuff like that...

It’s a rather broad and draconian law they passed that has the potential to do harm to other websites.
1. Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession.
2. Prostitution will be the world’s last profession.
3. Despite anyone’s handwringing, prostitution is not going away.
Years ago I remember reading about how the internet mostly eliminated street level hookers. The new law takes all of the whores and puts them back on the street.
Here’s the problem with this law as it pertains to us for example. Let’s say a bunch of kid touchers sign up here. And they start talking about pizzas and shit. Then they start talking via pm with one another about the kids they want to trade back and forth. Roosh can then be held criminally liable for sex trafficking.
In simpler terms, if you own a convenience store and a hooker comes in and propositions a customer who accepts, you’re now liable for facilitating sex trafficking.

Write to Congress: Restore CDA Section 230 and Support Internet Bill of Rights.
Then, prepare for war. This assault on Freedom of Speech was well planned and it won't stop just at alleged "sex trafficking."

The cops love vague laws they can apply whenever and however they want.
They must have been really pissed though. Our local sheriff was having a great time stinging the shit out of people using backpage. It was so easy. Just post a pic of some random ho and low ball the price and they would scoop up a dozen morons. You think people would learn.

BULLSHIT LAW! Had to all caps that shit, this law is purposely vague and is being pushed to stop "sex trafficing" by making a service provider responsible for the behaviors of their customers.
By using the vague-but-all-encompassing phrase "sex trafficking," the government is now able to shut down any business or Web site with the flimsiest of evidence.
These laws actually have very little to do with human trafficking, which is not a crisis, but a hyped hysteria, like the satanic daycare centers of the 1980s.
As with "hate speech," anti-trafficking laws are actually a way for the government to do an end-run around the First Amendment. Don't like what someone is saying? Simply accuse them of having something to do with "human trafficking" and shut down their site!
Backpage.com was a place people could sell musical instruments, hire handymen, or buy all sorts of crap on the cheap. Only a fragment of it was prostitution. And yet they shut the whole site down.
I think it's only a matter of time until the Violence Against Women Act meets the "human trafficking" fanatics and the government starts coming for blogs and Web sites that "spread ideas of violence against women." That would include the manosphere.
When you see people coming for prostitutes and the like, don't be deceived. They're not really coming for the prostitutes. They're coming for you and me, and using the hookers as a means to silence anyone who engages in "wrongthink."
It's no coincidence this is happening after Trump's electoral victory. Deep inside government offices, wonks are scheming to find ways to make us stop communicating with one another. It will happen incrementally and under the guise of "doing good." This is the first step.

The Web site where people review hookers, The Erotic Review (TER), has blocked users in the U.S. from seeing it because of the new SESTA law.
It looks to me like it's only a matter of time until this hits SA and other sites. It's chilling to think that people in the U.S. are not allowed to see sites than can be viewed in other countries that don't have a First Amendment.

The hoes will just sneak onto other platforms. Instagram, Tinder, Seeking Arrangement, etc. All she needs is cryptic language, sleazy photos, and a burner phone with a text app and it's business as usual. No shortage of dudes who need tail and girls willing to charge for it.

I liken this to holding the manufacturers of crescent wrenches accountable for assaults involving crescent wrenches.

Human trafficking is indeed an issue. There is a market for girls which gets girls to cross state and nation borders for the explicit intention to be used for sex work.
Here in Canada the backdoors or cooked into immigration policy, to the point you can track the ages of sex workers and where they come from largely from the backdoors in certain immigration policies.
Lots of mainland Chinese girls here working in the rub places who have thier passports taken away and terms set when they arrive. Same thing with many European struppees here in Toronto to the point they had to put in place am ID system because too many shady girls with botched up movement history where magically all ending up as strippers.
Prostitution lowers rape rate - it's been field tested in Rhode Island in the 2000s with clear results.
But I guess they do want to go the way of Sweden which penalized heavily prostitution - there mostly the Johns.

Not surprising. Just another day in the U.S. sex prison. Constitutional rights be damned.
I agree, Seeking Arrangement will be on the chopping block in the near future.

They should outlaw dating while they’re at it. A girl can have a boyfriend, a guy she’s “seeing” and one she’s “talking to”.
None of which know about the other and all three are spending money on her.
If that ain’t hookin ...
Shit ...I’m about ready to 10-99 women if they order more than 1 drink. :dodgy:

I agree with posters above, this isn't about the whores and trafficking. If it was we would see many prisons full of such people but that is not the case and it is merely a form of control.
Fake news started out as a hit piece, then a meme and now its mutated into actual government and social media policy culminating in fines, possible prison sentences and entire communities and websites shut down.
Trump might be the President but he isn't going to stop them all in 8 years.

They should outlaw marriage too. As I mentioned a few months ago on this forum, I know a guy who owns a big house and lets a woman live there. Apparently there is some "arrangement" going on. He works, while she stays home and provides "services" like cooking, cleaning, and you-know-what.
When questioned, he called her a "wife." Yeah, right. They both need good long stretches in jail. Isn't that what the land of the free is really all about?

Interesting article about SESTA/FOSTA. Hollywood is a major supporter. They want your internet filtered and controlled so it’s not unlike cable tv. It’s kind of like youtube demonetizing everything and then starting to introduce original content that is no different than what you see on cable or Netflix. They only want you to see what they want you to see. They want to dictate the narrative.
