I talked to someone in customer service with Eros and they wanted a photo ID to post there so I passed. They said they were making sure all girls were of age and not using illegal language so their site wouldn't get taken down too.
They're cracking down on everything slowly and one by one it seems.
...so not a big loss to me, but it is a disturbing trend that could have greater ramifications. Didn't the same thing happen to craigslist years ago? Before my time, but I recall someone mentioning it once.
I do feel bad for the girls who advertised there because they didn't know of any better websites. I hope they can figure out an alternative.
The section is packed with escort ads, just how long it will last is a good question
What I would be more worried about is all the scam posters on BP coming over to TER and making this place a mess.
Also Providers are going to have some unpleasant experiences with this to, when all those guys who use BP do make it over here, are they in for a rude awakening when they are asked for screening info, higher prices and so on.
I advertise on eros, and you have to jump through hoops to get photos approved etc..I am also authenticated, which means I had to producey real info...look for the red dot under the ads, all those ladies had to prove their identity...not sure how it's possible for fake ads to sneak through? They are pretty strict and it's also a bit pricey to advertise so I think that would weed out the bots if in fact they are on there
Her phone is going crazy now with guys calling her.. she is trying to figure out how to handle it.. take advantage of it but to not be stupid dumb about the obvious hazards with a stranger who has no presence on TER or anywhere else..
Isn't the real victim in all this, "Children of the Night" - the privately-funded non-profit that helps rescue children caught up in the sex trade? They are bemoaning the closing down of BP due to the fact that it resulted in a wealth of information which enabled authorities to track down victims and perpetrators of the child sex trade. But apparently our Government thinks that infringing on BP's 1st amendment rights is somehow taking the "moral high ground."
I agree with HankTman and disagree with LE going after Eros.
You need a ID verification to advertise on Eros. Not the case with BackPage. If BackPage had the same guidelines, I doubt they would be under so much heat. Just my opinion...
