In Case of Blackout on Jan 1st?

[The Infamous One]

I’m going to be compiling a list of ways to reach me in case this happens. You guys and girls might want to think about exchanging info in case it really does happen. I’m not the type to call or message clients really. It’s a boundary I won’t cross, so I depend on you to reach out to me! FYI.

Some of us depend on the hobby to live. Others, not so much. Either way, I’d hate it if I lost contact with some of you never to be reconnected. I’ve made a lot of great friends over the years. Maybe I’m being paranoid, but it’s best to be prepared right?

Im interested in this subject as well. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge regarding this?

For me the best way to keep in contact is going to be thru the proton email I have set up for me and a few girls I help maintain schedules for.

Thru me you will have access to a handful of treats (wink wink)- might be wise to meet me and open up that line of communication incase the black out really does happen.

The smart ones will save my contact if you want variety and discretion. Just saying.

Apparently I'm not in the "disaster loop". Is this another Y2K or Mayan Calendar thing?

Fosta/Sesta taking full effect January 1st.

Most ladies have both my numbers and can reach out to me via protonmail.

I think it’s much ado about nada. Like Y2K, Mayan calendar. Good analogies Loxly. More like last April, when BP and eccie went down. Panic ensued. OH2 stepped up and filled the gap...thank you CK. And eccie came back, at least a semi-sanitized version of it.

FOSTA/sesta was in effect on the day it was signed into law back in April. No reason to believe that Armageddon will happen on January 1.

I hope I’m right.

No offense to the women here that might feel differently. I cannot truly empathize since I don’t know what hardships you encountered last April when eccie temporarily went offline. But from my perspective at least, the women that I’ve met did not appear to suffer from that period. But I appreciate the ladies’ desires to be prepared.

I slightly disagree.

Always have backdoors to get in touch. When E fell, many were not prepared at all.

This is all very true as well. See, the law is already in effect - it was on April 11th 2018 just as Loving said above. Nothing special happens on Jan 2019. No reason to believe some Y2K type thing is happening.

Really though the further issue is like I said before you cannot just shut them down in a "Y2K" type manner due to a bug or b/c a law enforces it. Most of the places that now operate (if they are smart) are not on american soil which means there is no jurisdiction for the US to shut the servers down. Even with a lengthy process working with foreign federal governments it would be extremely difficult. There is no way to "push a button" or even to block a section of IP's (the way we do with certain IP's like things from China or Russia or North Korea and so on to our major internet provider backbones in the US). I won't go into the details of why that's not possible but trust me when I tell you it's impossible from a technical perspective.

The real question becomes whether some, such as P411, this very site, Eccie, and others, will decide on their own to just fade away and shutdown over time due to "perceived pressure". That's possible. It's definitely possible.

Even with the updated SESTA/FOSTA language the issue is still somewhat murky and unclear with regard to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (which provided immunity to website operators). Just take a look at a site like this one: CDS 230 Major Legal Acts. That link points you to major actions by many, many large corporations and well known proprietors of services that have been targeted for various reasons over the years. That's just a sampling by the way.

With regard to SESTA and the safe harbors act (section 230 CDA) amendment it reads as follows per the new federal legal statutes that took effect on April 11th 2018:

Congress finds the following:

(1) Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 230) (as added by title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–104; 110 Stat. 133) (commonly known as the “Communications Decency Act of 1996”)) was never intended to provide legal protection to websites that facilitate traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims.

That's just the bill text. You will find the actual amendments in Ch 5 of U.S.C 47 (broadly known as the communications decency act) under 2018-Subsec. (e)(5). Pub. L. 115–164 added par. (5).
US Constitutional Code Ch.5 of U.S.C 47 (search for "trafficking" and you will find the actual 2018 amendment wording at about the 2/7 entries under: e.5)

The main loophole is the underlined and bold portion I highlighted above in the bill text. And many freedom of information groups are fighting those items (such as the EFF).
Read about sex trafficking here: Wikipedia Sex Trafficking

Sex trafficking indicates a victim of sexual exploitation. For example, a minor/child, engaging in child pornography, or a non-minor sold into sex slavery, performing sexual services under duress, at the direction of a "pimp", drug/cartel ring, or someone forced into a slave type prostitution ring, etc...
In order to be "trafficked" you have to be the victim of sexual exploitation.

That's the biggest legal loophole in SESTA. However, it's not even a loophole IMO. Why? Because I believe the intent was simply to do exactly what I've said before: protect victims of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. Backpage, for example, was a place that needed to go away (for all of those reasons). It was unsafe. And it was a hotbed for criminal rings and enterprises.

If you are a provider using any forum, or any medium for that matter, and you are not doing it as a result of someone ordering you, you are not forced into it under some form of slavery or as a result of being exploited with drugs, you are not a minor, you are not under any duress to perform sexual acts, etc... then you are *NOT* the target audience of this bill/law.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, per say, but I am compiling a list of "Have Seen" and "Wanna See" to be sure. Just in case, The Little Black Book returns.

[AlexandraSand]

I think, prices for "Little Black Book" should go up!
Nothing better, than pen and paper, to help the fading memory, especially when internet accessibility is limited.
But, please, write the names and email addresses in that book coded, like the "love notes" in High School.

It is the (potential) CIVIL liabilities attached to the new legislation that have webmasters, servers, web sites 3rd party applications, etc owners running for the hills. Because it is RETROACTIVE, the possibility of being sued into submission is very real, and very dangerous. Civil lawsuits + class/collective action = heavy monetary payouts.

Criminal liability is also a factor, though, one less feared than that impending doom of settlement checks and years of litigation (which also carries a hefty price tag for legal fees.)

Speculate however you wish, but in the meantime, PREPARE. Get contact info. Solidify your current references. Ladies, if the hobby is your sole means of income, I strongly advise you to be thinking of Plan B- at the very least, have SOME OTHER WAY TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR INCOME.

There are several relatively inexpensive certifications you can obtain, quickly and easily. I have prepared a list of them, and anyone interested may PM me.

Best of luck to all

Regards

Since 1999 I have maintained a spreadsheet (pardon the pun) of both those I have seen and those on my "to do" list. It's password protected and backed up nightly. (Yes... you're on it. LOL) It also contains notes about the lady to help joggle my memory (if needed). The notes section is currently empty on you, Alex. We need to fix that!

I have about 12 girls I have connections with and help with their schedules including my own schedule - please save my email sweetsugarcookies@protonmail.com

My phone number (if you have it) will stay the same for contacting me as well

(Ps my phone number is very private )

Just cruising through for a bit to gather any new info and let folks know that when aspd was hacked several times during its decade, and later died, there were those of us who had harvested, archived and protected more than enough data to enable new boards to "come alive" ....

In fact, oh2 is one of several, including eccie, which unfortunately at the moment is dark (but not "dark web" far as I know).

So my advice during these uncertain times is to be

-- practical
-- safe
-- far sighted

And, tell the "Chicken Littles" out there that the sky stopped falling years ago!
