Re Changes

From the update, I'm assuming that the servers for ECCIE are in the US. Could the service be moved to non-US servers such as the site Skip the Games?

My educated guess is that as long as owners/admins/mods are physically located in the US they're subject to prosecution for a felony, at least in Texas (and IMNSHO in a number of other states) if the site continues as an escort advertising site. Hence the recent changes. I don't think offshoring the servers would change that.

The government in all its brilliance of trying to eradicate human trafficking has taken a situation and made it ten times worse and less safe. By eliminating advertising the traffickers are no longer out in the open and have found other ways to peddle their product. The rest of us are left to our own means to determine if someone is safe or not, thus creating an environment of confusion and opening the door to further risk, injury, robbery and in extreme cases death. The unintended consequences are far more dangerous. Everyone, be safe and share information as much as you can.

The server is in the Netherlands. I think the owners are in north Texas.


I presume if the owners lived in another state they would probably be unaware of the Texas law and left ECCIE as it was unless contacted by a district attorney. Then the issue gets more complicated. Free speech, interstate commerce and so on.
