Consensual adult sex work, especially if it avoids the current-era minefields of interstate commerce and "trafficking," generally falls under state and local jurisdiction. FOSTA-SESTA which is, as has been correctly observed, a bipartisan "do-gooder" monstrosity that pre-dates Trump, weaves elements of both those minefields with overbroad and vague language such that no one wants to be the first test case. If some local jurisdictions were to legalize it, as DC and NY are discussing, that might go a long way toward forcing some kind of resolution or at least some kind of accommodation, as in Federal vs State differences re marijuana. As for Trump, or any other politician (GOP or DEM), there's nothing in the current climate that would tend to elevate this issue to the top of anyone's agenda. It's a sure-fire loser since activists on both the left and the right would be sure to pounce. Whatever you feel about Trump, you could insert pretty much anyone else into his spot and, at least on this issue, you'd get pretty much the same result.
another site has notified its members that it will be going dark very soon. Since they post reviews I assume that I can't mention their name or include a link, but it's initials are MR.
A lot of mongers will need to go somewhere else to find Massage providers and providers will lose one more advertising venue in the once great Republic of the USA. Good thing I moved to Canada!
The only site with those initials that comes to mind is Massage Republic. I have no idea if that's actually the site about to go dark, or not. Also, it's not that great a site, IMHO, and I would characterize it as mostly ads and comments, not reviews, with an occasional Q & A with providers. If my assessment is shared by the mods, they shouldn't have any problem with this post.
No, it wasn't (note the past tense) much of a "review" site, but more of a mall for browsing. My post was more of a commentary on that site deciding to give up in the USA, much like TER did a year ago. Apparently they have no reason to believe a WIN for the industry is on the horizon.
US-based listings are gone but the site is still accessible from the US. So I guess that means I can still easily search Massage Republic for a hot Argentina babe for my next trip to Barcelona.
Don't speak loud if Trum listen you, maybe he order to block the full website like in Middle East hahaha For good luck in Europe we're FOSTA free, so you're welcome to enjoy a memorable quality time here!
Virtually EVERY member of Congress, with only a very few exceptions, on BOTH sides of the aisle voted for FOSTA/SESTA including ALL the Democratic members of Congress currently running for POTUS, Ironically one of the only two Senators that voted against it was previous REPUBLICAN candidate for POTUS, Rand Paul.
Conversely, there are seven current Democratic senators running for POTUS, every single one of them voted FOR FOSTA/SESTA.
