you used to be able to Google "hire sex worker", "escort in my area" etc and familiar sites such as tryst, list crawler, skip etc would come up with links to local providers. This isn't the case currently in chicago and indianapolis, though; when people who live there type something like that in, they're met instead with news stories and "escort jobs" on indeed, etc.
looks like we aren't *quite* affected yet in WNY as you can still type in "hire escort and pull up the usual, but this is an issue i'm seeing across the USA in threads online and I imagine it'll just take time to fully take effect here.
very disheartening as this means people who want to see sex workers are going to have an increasingly difficult time finding them, especially girls who have been relying on sites like skip and Leo that don't have individually listed ads/urls and instead rely on a rotating "bulletin" information-style sites.
a fellow SW on Twitter found a log that says they removed a bunch of links about Isreal (?) and "promoting trafficking) at 3:30am but nothing was officially released about the changes.
this affects all of us. has anyone else noticed this change, or have any new information on it?
(( lets say it together, kids. this is called censorship. ))
