Backpage

To stress what Eng posted, TER is gone as well for those of us in the US.

Here is the pop up that displays when attempting to access the site:

"The U.S. Congress has passed the Stop Enabling Sex-Trafficking Act (SESTA, also known as The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act or FOSTA). SESTA amends Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, a federal law which has served as the bedrock of protection for online publishers – from Facebook, Yelp, Reddit and Twitter to The Erotic Review – from being held liable for user’s posts on their sites. Under SESTA / FOSTA, the U.S. government can prosecute websites and those that operate them criminally for posts made by users.

As a result of this new law, TER has made the difficult decision to block access to the website from the United States until such time as the courts have enjoined enforcement of the law, the law has been repealed or amended, or TER has found a way to sufficiently address any legal concerns created by the new law. TER is not alone in responding to this threat to your First Amendment Rights: Craigslist has pulled all of its Personal Ads, Reddit has closed a number of Subreddits and sites such as CityVibe and Men4RentNow have gone completely dark. Other websites have taken or are expected to take similar actions."


However, I was able to log on thru my VPN (having it display my IP address as out of the US) and was able to get on just fine. Not sure if this a temporary work around or not.

It's just a matter of time before Eccie and P411 follow suit. For me BP wasn't a big deal since I'm not a BP kind of guy. But we know its coming for the rest of these sites. I suspect sooner rather than later. I'm going to work on compiling a list of provider friends, email addresses, etc., along with you guys so we can keep communicating until this thing plays out.

P411 will not follow.
Eccie will hang on as long as they can, I am sure of that

And O2I, vpn is everything right now

List Crawler is back up and operational.

The new law is politicians pandering to the christian right. It's easy, and it works for them. Sadly, it's a win for pimps and the real trafficers, since they're eliminating the sites that actually try to insure that minors aren't invovled

My advice is to make sure you have contact information for your favorite ladies.

P411 is Canadian, but ECCIE is likely to be in the crosshairs.

Nothing legit verified about BP... desperate girls used BP.. I contacted and walked away almost 100% Originally Posted by eng

Eng, your continuous venom is getting real old, real fast. I, along with alot of other providers got our start on BP. I very rarely use the site now although back then when I did, I was neither ugly, hard up or desperate. It was the only site that I knew starting out until a kind gentleman educated me about Eccie.

On another note, I think things are going to get alot worse before they get better. We have to protect ourselves. Stay informed, stay smart.

Www.roadbunnies.com is also seized damn u govt. Oh well im not a truck driver.

Advertising websites are used by many escorts whether they are high end or the less favorable. I know of several Stellar women that used Backpage and Craigslist.

If u were on it last 2 years or so with all bad news and risk of things... yep, u were desperate..

Hope we’re not 2nd one.

Anyway, it is matter of time for others to follow....
If I own and operate a site, I wouldn’t want to be liable for what other people to post....
Good Luck everyone and Good Luck eccie, p411 and eros...<<< my resources...

Eng, you are a sad, little man, I'm done with you. Best of luck to you and your pathetic cynicism.

Everyone, just be cautious, take care of yourselves.

Eng, enough with the insults. It's unnecessary and not welcome.

O2 said something about getting lists, numbers and emails together just in case and it sounds like a solid idea. It might not be a bad idea for guys to introduce themselves to ladies they hope to see one day soon to break the ice and make contact. Anyone can send an email and say they are anyone so the PM can help solidify someone's handle.

And as far as the new law, I don't see how it can hold up under legal scrutiny. It steps on the 1st Amendment and the 4th and I don't see where in the Constitution exceptions were made for feel-good laws and I think politicians know that. They pass a law that makes them look tough on breaking up slave rings knowing that it will be struck down but they've already scored the political points for their re-election campaigns. In other words, they don't give a shit as long as it makes them look good.

For the record, I hate all politicians and wish we could deport them all, don't care which party, dump 'em all.

Incorrect. The site is still managed by the owners and has a statement:

We Have Temporarily Shut Down Do to the SESTA/FOSTA regulation


That is way different than the FBI seizure notice found on the backpage site.


as a point of reference you can always check the domain registration of a website

https://whois.domaintools.com/roadbunnies.com

versus

https://whois.domaintools.com/backpage.com

to insure the site wasn't hacked and defaced versus actual seizure.

In this respect the FBI runs their own Name Server

Name Servers
NS1.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM (has 1,753 domains)
NS2.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM (has 1,753 domains)

through Verizon (a primary DNS Server) so all DNS servers are quickly changed and the site is redirected to the FBI seizure notice even if the site owners where to try and change hosts and/or name servers on their own. This also allows the FBI to seize the server of the site for criminal procedures without worrying about evidence being destroyed or altered.

JAG, thank you for addressing the fact that this has become a win for the demons that participate in the human trafficking of Innocence.
I just had an emotional breakdown because of that one factor to my husband thinking about all of the women and children that are going to be lost because of this and all of the ladies that didn't have the knowledge of seeking out other places to advertise because nobody ever showed them and now they are going to be back out in the streets so a lot of sex workers are going to be prime targets

My advice in all of this is to the ladies and the fact that we need to lay our differences aside and come together as a Unity and become a strong driving force to keep each other safe.
And to help keep these men safe.
Angel I am old school and I definitely agree with you that it is going to get worse before we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel because we are being denied our first through fourth amendments.
There is a back Channel on YouTube that is 3 hours long and they were waiting for the feds to give the reason behind all of this catastrophe and when 6 hit nothing was given and the bills haven't even been signed as they are just stuck on a desk of a president who is more worried about saving his ass from a pornstar that he had a one-night stand with and pissing off other countries such as Syria.
To the men you guys need the back Channel and stay safe because we all have something to lose in this.

While there may be some people on here who don't care and you're just acting as a squirrel looking for the next tree to shake so the nut will fall out.
To the ones that actually have a friendship and an ongoing relationship with a lady on here of your choice reach out to her and see if there is anything that you can do for her during this because there are a lot of ladies out there who are at a Breaking Point because they do this to support their family or other family members who are in need

I am a huge advocate for Children of the Night so if you can make a donation to that organization to help them make a difference please do so
