HR 1865, "FOSTA"

The great content crackdown has begun!

Under the new law, social media sites and other hubs of user-generated content can be held criminally liable.

http://reason.com/blog/2018/03/22/reddit-bans-escort-subreddits

I wonder how many people that signed the bill hire escorts or are sugar daddies, but yet they pimp out taxpayers to pay for their programs.

It's not liberals or conservatives that we need to be concerned about, but statists. You can have liberal beliefs or conservative beliefs, but if you have no power to force them on someone else, it is a moot point. It is only in the force by the fascist police power of government that tyranny reigns.

Craigslist personals pages now redirect to this:

US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day.

To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!

With this going on to Craig’s list etc, where are the advertising now? I’ve seen SA on some of the posts, what does SA stand for? It sounds like you can find someone in that? Please help me here, I’m sort of new at this, (I guess being with the same SO for 29 years will do this to a person??

LOL Nothing to be ashamed of there. Going on 42 here myself, and planning ahead for the next 42. SA is Seeking Arrangements, the SD/SB (sugar daddy/sugar baby) website.

What I would really like to see is someone earnestly tracking the amount of violence against women in the US over the next 3/6/12 months following the passing of this legislation.

You'd have to find a truly impartial research group because the proponents of this legislation will skew any data that shows "trafficking" is down or just outright fake the data.
Actually, all they would have to do is just use the REAL number of trafficked women vs the bullshit they originally published and it would "prove" the effectiveness of the Act.
Oh and the increase in murdered prostitutes will further prove guns are the cause.

Not FOSTA related, but well within the confines of “politicians run amok”: The Louisiana state senate voted yesterday on a bill that would make sex with animals illegal. The bill was approved 25 - 10. I say again, it passed 25 to 10. Let that sink in a minute.

Wizard, that was truly funny. Thank you.

On an unrelated question, so take the Fosta bill, does that make online 'yellow pages' criminally liable if it gives you the phone number to some escorts services or spas?

Would never pass such a law in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah as these states are large producers of sheep (snicker, snicker). Gets kinda lonely out there in the pasture at night.

Hubba, hubba!

As you probably already know this entire "anti trafficking" movement is based on ridiculously over-inflated numbers.
This article is a bit dated but the numbers really haven't changed in terms of hundreds of millions of dollars being spent in the "search and rescue effort" to find sex trafficked victims, and the inability to find any amount close to justifying the numbers they claim. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...07/09/the_sexslavery_epidemic_that_wasnt.html

If I'm reading it right, your friend and his cousin are all good to go.
https://law.justia.com/codes/louisiana/2011/rs/title14/rs14-78/
Universal Citation: LA Rev Stat § 14:78
§78. Incest

A. Incest is the marriage to, or sexual intercourse with, any ascendant or descendant, brother or sister, uncle or niece, aunt or nephew, with knowledge of their relationship.

I guess the same 25 guys who dislike goat fucking instead have a thing for their cousins. But on a happier note, that same law that now outlaws goat fucking also removed the penalties against anal sex. So...butt fucking, OK. Cousin fucking, OK. Goat fucking, not OK (but it is to at least those 10 politicians who tried to preserve it).

Yeah I read that article before which just adds to what I've already observed when it comes to numbers and media outlets that just re-quote those figures as if it's completely accurate.
If you remember years ago a nursery down south somewhere where nearly the whole staff was accused of bizarre molestation of the children in their care. The media initially reported it all without question. Eventually the real truth came out that a overzealous investigator got those kids to say things that weren't true .
It's why I always go with the philosophy to question everything you read or hear .
