Backpage assets seized -- site down

Is this all related to the increase in requests for the mods to cancel or delete accounts? Are they concerned that LE will shut down ECCIE next and expose or prosecute everyone who has an account? Originally Posted by WhiteGentleman

Spoke to a few gentlemen on the subject already.
Like some of the ladies mentioned..
Screenshot information for contacting providers of your choice because chances are real good.
Matter of time @ this point

I have a legal question... What if a website is based in a foreign country? Access from the US would be available, but the company would be foreign owned and operated. Is that my next million dollar idea?

TER's servers are foreign based. Sometimes, the threat of prosecution or an expensive lawsuit is enough.

Apparently. However, the site does not delete accounts nor content in these situations. Instead, accounts are disabled (all posts and reviews remain in place).
