This could / will affect our hobby....

Read linked article concerning a new new law about to be signed into law.

In a nut shell.

Quote:
The House and the Senate have both passed the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (or FOSTA for short), but don’t let its name fool you: it will do essentially nothing to stop sex trafficking, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If signed into law by the president, FOSTA will change the dynamic between users and the sites they visit by making online platforms criminally and civilly responsible for the actions of their users.

Well services are only worth what someone is willing to pay. Personally I’ve played and paid til it’s about played out. We shall see...
