It's not illegal to be a member of P411, Eccie, or any other escort related website. Nor is it illegal to run any escort related website.
It IS, however, illegal to hide money in a Swiss bank account in order to evade paying taxes....
I guess my point is, what could we be pressured about? We are a legal business.... and anyway our databases contain exactly as much info as any other site's database contains.... handle, email address, and some profile info that the member has control of.
Always,
Gina

My point is that most think that the very personal information that you provide to the account holder is private and will be protected as private. My comment was in response to Allie's comment which seemed to infer that since the holder of personal information was not in the U.S. one could presume that it is not subject to the prying eyes of OUR government. I was merely expressing my opinion, that I don't believe that the location of the information make it any less subject to disclosure.
Just being able to link a handle to the person's actual name I assume is a cause for concern for most of us here. You are the only person on ECCIE that uses their real name on here, right Gina? LOL If confidentiality isn't the main reason people don't use there full real name on here, I don't know what is. Just keep in mind, once the Feds have legally obtained the info there is no law that prevents them from disclosure, or using it or threatening to use it as they wish.
Just my two cents.
