Update 10th December 2018
Please read (yes, all of it, it really is important)
As our site has grown immensely in this past week, today we have put our attention into legal matters (simply said, making sure that we comply with every possible law that is required) today.
While pretty much everything needed is already in our TOS, the recently signed SESTA and FOSTA (If you want more information about them, just google up Sesta and Fosta) has forced many huge sites to go mental with their censorship (recent Facebook’s censorship changes, Tumblr’s complete takedown of adult material, Twitter’s extremely ban happy policy towards accounts containing adult material etc).
Reason for this is that these two laws in question are EXTREMELY confusing and seem to do more harm than actual good. For websites and platforms it’s easier to just deny than to allow and possibly risk some serious consequences because of it.
Before these two laws came into action, website and it’s owner(s) were not liable from the user’s actions on their site.
These laws have completely changed things. Let us give you an example:
Someone registers to our site and advertises sexual services he/she is selling. Back in the day we could have just removed that comment in case we would not have noticed it but were by authorities.
Now, we are just as guilty as they would be no matter did we know about that content on our site or not. We became aware of these laws and the possible problems they cause just recently.
Now what are we going to do about it you ask?
First of all, we are here to stay.
We simply have to filter out, monitor and make sure that NO SUCH CONTENT exists on our site, no matter what. This isn’t ideal and this is restrictive for freedom of speech as we have to put certain filters on place which could cause false positives, but we really don’t have a choice if we are here to stay in long term.
Today we are going to pause everything else we’ve been working on and get this done immediately to ensure the future for our platform, we can’t press enough how hugely important this is and it can’t wait.
We will also create an easy reporting system which will allow users to report posts directly from the post itself if they suspect that material posted on the site should not be here.
So, extremely important:
- DO NOT OFFER ANY KIND OF ESCORT, MASSAGE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF PAID SERVICES
- Do NOT post material which is mentioned in our Terms of service under any circumstances.
Thank you for reading!
EDIT: To clarify. We are NOT shutting down. Adult and porn content is of course welcomed just like it is right now :). Just keep it on material which does not break any laws and do not offer services (escort, nor paid services of any kind) and everything’s well!
