Question on Why Some Websites Advertise/Allow Sex Posts and Others Don't

Upfront, I am in no way suggesting that ECCIE do anything different than what they feel is best for them. This is just an honest question trying to learn.

Was on DoubleList and noticed they have a SF based phone number and address. Yet they serve as conduit for people ostensibly to have sex. And there are other sites that advertise "services" and some are outright selling sex.

Craigslist stopped this when that particular law was passed. Let's not argue about it's merits, please. And ECCIE stopped allowing women to post ads if I remember correctly.

So if CL and ECCIE are right, why are those other businesses still operating? Or, maybe to contradict my opening statement, why haven't CL and ECCIE got in on the game?

The web hosting business model is weird. Your office might be in 1 country, but the servers you host your sites on are in another.

Here is how jurisdiction works in that scenario.

Office in Canada, Server physical location in USA -the laws of the country your server is physically hosted in apply. (some hosting companies have data centers in multiple countries making access to one of their sites easier because you are routed to the nearest on-ramp in your country, then sent via internal connections to the server hosting the site located in another country.

Having worked for some hosting companies I can tell you that is can be a legal nightmare.

If the US files a legal request etc on a site that is hosted by a hosting company in the USA but actual server it is on is located in say Switzerland then it becomes an extradition deal.
