Anyone on here a 1st amendment lawyer or expert and want to argue that this could never happen to Eccie because........?

Never has anything simpler been more misunderstood by more people than the protections granted in the 1st amendment.

Every single website is a private platform.

If you do illegal things in a private location or on a private platform, or otherwise aid in others and provide resources on how to do those things, then the owner of that platform is liable.

As long as the owner of the platform, and that platform, is located on Uncle Sam's turf, that is. Is eccie hosted in Europe? If so, then we are fine

The Cloud Act says otherwise. Doesn’t matter where the site is hosted. This was the first time , of many to come, that the feds used Fosta/Sesta laws passed in 2018 under the guise of stopping human trafficking.

And if you’re into protecting free speech and all, check out the Earn It act. People think these laws only affect SWs, not true. We are just the low hanging fruit. These bills and laws affect everyone.

Right? And they are written in a way that the old fogies voting on them don't even know what they mean (what's a face book and how does it track phones through the tubes??).
This country is ruled by the rich. Not the smart, not the powerful, the rich.

SW Florida used that one a lot.

Shame we can’t have a legal business with sex trafficking , underage , violence and addiction all eliminated via a legal business model.

Anything with www is public.
