I have noticed recently that many providers who list their Twitter page links on their TER profiles have them protected, requiring a specific request for access. I am not sure what the reasons are since they use their hobbying personas and their websites contain much of the same information and photographs. The value of the Twitter page is that it contains additional photographs and, more importantly for me, other information that gives some insights into a provider's perspectives, travels and interests. That information makes for a more interesting discussion during the down time during an appointment.  It would seem to me that in this competitive business a provider would want to be as accessible as possible to potential clients. It is not a deal breaker for me if I like her website and she has decent reviews, but I am not going to take that additional step to review a Twitter page. Just saying............

I am thinking your perception is a bit off.  

It's called discretion.

I would be more concerned with providers who continue - especially in this climate - to be publicly tweeting information about what they do.  

It is a known fact that accounts are being watched, info gathered.   So the same woman who you are learning about, so is the rest of the world.  

And you know, those who want to give us and you a real special piece of jewelry - a lovely pair of silver bracelets.  They are LOVING all the proof....

The real question is:  why in the world would a provider have a public twitter page?

I know my opinion is unpopular, and I am ok with it.  Cause I know myself and my clients are as protected as possible.  And at the end of the day, that really is the most important thing.  Not my ass jiggle, not how good I give a bj.  

It's how I protect those kind enough to do business with me.  Thats the core principal.

And it's very easy to have random people stumble across your Twitter...You mention "cats" and a cat page likes your tweet or you mention a certain pop brand and that pop brand's Twitter page likes your tweet.

My Twitter is public...I'm pretty much out to anyone who is important in my life so I don't have much to lose.

All these various social media sites are nothing more than jail bait.

A Twitter page is no less discrete than a website that contains  much of the same information that is not protected. Both are designed and intended to promote the providers business and it makes no sense to restrict access to one and not the other. Obviously a Twitter page that is linked to a TER profile and that uses the same provider name is not intended to be "private." And the reality is that neither the provider nor the client is protected from "LE" by  such Twitter page restrictions.

END OF MESSAGE

So, I'm now public on Twitter and IG with no regrets. I don't care who knows what I do to serve God's man. I'm doing as I was destined, and I'm passionate to an unbelievable degree; where I protect my profession like my first amendment rights.

Oh My.

and now they have the nerve to have U ask for access to them?

hhhhmmmm,
Could b because a lot of guys r COMPLAINING about girl's twats in previous posts
and also explaining to them what is appropriate twat material.

There have been several threads about the lack of discretion on Twitter. Perhaps they are showing pics that reveal more of their faces or tats that they do not show on their websites and they don't approve just anyone. Some providers use social media more to interact/keep in touch with existing clients, those with established accounts, other providers, hobbyists they have familiarity with from Meet and Greets or the boards, etc.  

There is no 'additional step' for would-be followers; you press 'Follow' regardless of their privacy settings and then they approve or deny. If the wait for approval is too much for you, then you move on.

Twitter is a large platform with a little over 300 million users worldwide. It would almost be a waste of free advertising potential not to use it for exactly that. There have been several clients I've seen in the past that came from twitter. On top of that, it's a good means of creating a personal connection with potential clients.

I thinks is more an issue with perception of privacy. The government is already surveiling every move you make despite your best efforts to avoid that (re:Manning, Snowden, Vault 7 leaks). Also, every single one of the top 50 law enforcement agencies has surveillance equipment to crack phones, computers, snap up all your communication signals, etc. if they want it to build a case against you, they're going to get it. So something like a protected twitter account isn't going to stop that.

It's also pretty fucking insulting that there's an implied assumption that providers with public twitter profiles are somehow less concerned with client safety, security, and anonymity.

While I totally respect another sex worker's personal choice to have a locked twitter account based on their comfort level, it is a naive and inaccurate insinuation that providers with public profiles don't care about their safety or their clients' safety.

My personal reasons for having a public account are related to the reasons why I post on review boards (which are also mostly public) or why I pay for placement on various advertising venues, or why I'm gleeful if/when ever I show up near the top of a Google search for particular keywords. Exposure and visibility... I mean that's kind of the point of marketing - to be found by who is looking for an experience that I offer.  

Does someone(s) in the local law enforcement agency in the city where I live know who I am and what I look like? Absolutely! They send me corny, poorly written messages from time to time trying to get me caught up in their trap. They find my contact information from [insert ad mall] that I purchase ad space on or [insert review board]. (And based on how I screen, they don't even get past point A.) How much vague information they may know about any of my clients, partially falls on my clients. At least a little bit can be gathered about a client who writes reviews which is why many escorts don't accept reviews and many clients don't write them.  

Coming for the integrity and reputability of sex workers who are highly visible on Twitter is hilarious to me. On an escort-client review board at that. It comes off to me as a dated and out of touch understanding of rapidly changing surveillance tactics. And I'm not sure what shading other escorts (on a public ho board which has been written about in mainstream media outlets on many occasions) has to do with engaging in security culture in meaningful ways to minimize the possibility of criminalization.

For further not so fun reading, look up the hackathon that took place in Boston last year, the coverage of that PNW review board that was shut down, or what antics Rescue Forensics is getting into. Law enforcement agencies and pro sex work criminalization techies are actually putting a lot of focus on sites like this one or classified ad venues.
