I haven't seen anyone put these together, but a rush-through "anti-trafficking" law was passed in late May, mandating that all advertisers of adult services require a state issued ID or risk liability for the crime of facilitating. Advertisers began requiring that in June.

maybe making a connection with SWOP, or another SW advocacy org would be helpful.

Even if you tell a few, you have to trust they aren't going to say something somewhere online. It is going to be hard to not leave a fingerprint of some sort somehow. Some guy will break your rule and review you or mention you in some forum etc. I think it will be hard to go completely dark and still have a viable business. If you can maintain your lifestyle with just a few loyal customers you can trust, I would do that. The problem will be getting new customers to replace them at some point.

obtain an ID? Who needs the ID, the publisher or the provider?  I'm so confused! Can you provide some links?

I'm actually not sure where the safe-harbor provisions are (for sites that collect and retain ID's)

What do I say if not "you guys?"

That's not possible.  I just don't want to be in a data dump.

(Or "Yew goyz", as it becomes when I've had too much to drink lol), I've taken to saying, "all of you"

You connect with a SW advocacy org.  

they will want us tricks to validate our names with ID. LMAO. Not gonna happen. I would suggest finding a site out of country to post ads on. Regardless, they still have to prove a crime was committed.

and despite my handle, I am not from the south, I was born and raised in California.

Were more about helping girls get basic needs taken care of.  I'm open to the idea though.

The medical advise here is bogus? I have had an onion in my ear for weeks now.

I got into this almost three years ago, and when I first started taking out ads there, they wanted ID from me even before I became verified. Most advertising sites that i'd dealt with did, with the exception of Slixa; all these sites claimed 2257 compliance as the reasoning for collecting ID. Most of those sites are also headquartered in ths US, which is why 2257 compliance is an issue in the first place. The advertisement itself isn't an indictment, as advertising isn't a crime.  Also, from what i remember during a conversation with both my rep from this escort mall as well as another provider, the escort mall has to keep your ID on file for a minimum of 18 months after your last posted ad.  So even if you haven't posted an ad to that site in a while, they still have your data and don't destroy it.  

Take lots of vitamin c.

Around here we say "yins".

What do I say if not "you guys?"

Can we solicit input from Nevada providers?   This brings up the issue of where the cutoff is between local and federal regulations.  Do Nevada advertisers now have to have 2 separate IDs?  Assuming they are registered at a local level.  
 

Nevada providers are in the same situation as before.  They're registered and they put their names on said hypothetical list intentionally.

The biggest mall has always required ID, keeps everyone in check.
At the end of the day, even a regular can be harmful.
Play by the sword, risk losing by it.

I know one other long-time provider who has gone UTR. No ads. No on-line presence. I think its smart to stick to regulars until they have something else to occupy their attention.

Known at the local, state and federal levels. And by information I am talking real name, social security number, address, stage names, and everything. This includes her sexual health. They even know how much money she has made as a sex worker. They have to show ID to register. There is zero secrets from the government as to what they do for money. Now from her clients or the rest of the world she can keep her personal and professional lives separate and hiddenfrom each other, but government has her on a list of know prostitutes at every level.

You think so?  True until someone hack into the government database like they did in Ashley Madison.  Wait ...this is the Governemnt - serious crime!  Oh well, China did and hackers were in the system for weeks before it was discovered and reported on in media 2 months ago.  

That is why it is essential to spoof your IP Addresses and your hard coded address.  Once you do that then it is hard to identify you when your online.

The risk of being outed on ether side is never ever zero like ever. My wife had a few  times her profession and real life has crossed in ways that wasn't intended. It is a risk every person in this game faces, and the ladies more than the guys. But a massive government hack and data dump while possible is not the most likely way for data to spill to or from a lady's professional and private lives. Random meetings happen far more often and not all guys sadly know what discreet means. We had a real issue with one.
