Backpage gone...

[pornaddict1989]

Not sure if you guys are up to date on US sex worker laws. But new anti-sex trafficking laws have made the websites that post ads implicit in sex trafficking activities.
As such, backpage was seized by the US gov't.
Hope this doesn't mess up your weekend.


admin: sorry if this should be in another section. Just trying to create visibility for the lads.

Thanks pornaddict1989, I was wondering why no BP.
Checked the news:

I wouldn't count BP out just yet. Those guys have wriggled out of legal trouble before.

This is more likely related to money-laundering charges than the sex on their site

This article says they have all been charged with pimping.

But this article says that in 2016 they were cleared of charges

Backspace was forced back then to remove all escort and adult entertainment sections from its US site. This is being reopened as most likely a politically motivated "morality" / "good american Christian folk" type move from the republicans / Trump to Pandor to their base.

I guess it was just a matter of time. It was getting harder and more limited to post on Backpage each day, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly. It is an interesting time to be around these days. Politicians are juggling with what they think is right and wrong.

Do many people even know about Leo list in Victoria? I wonder what will be the new BP if BP doesn't manage to make a come back.

What are the options other then leolist? Craigslist is basically just boots, and they charge to post anything now!

Re: Neelsmith1234 - why make this political man ???? You claimed it was Trump and their evang. supporters - lets stop the fake news buddy - the owners of BP were arrested in October 2016 and last I checked
Obama was still in charge then.

Best for now is CL under theraputic services/ Leolist/ Escortfish

 

[DatyDiner]

EscortFish seems to be a tad out of date (and references a lot of links to Backpage).
