The US Congress passed a bill a few months ago, aimed at protecting victims of sex trafficking.
Here are the broader details, for those interested: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/mar/30/congress-online-sex-trafficking-bill-impact-sex-workers-craigslist
Although admirable in their attempt, I do not think this is the right way to go about it. My view is it will simply push these services underground again, and have a negative impact on the industry overall.
The reason for posting is that websites like Craigslist have totally pulled their "personals" section, in order to protect themselves. The FBI recently seized backpage.com.
With that in mind, I would like to remind members that we do not allow escorts to advertise their services here.
Any members seen to be advertising such services, will have their accounts deleted.
As a small privately run website, I simply cannot take the risk.
Thank you.
