Backpage seized

[bigmtsl]

******* is good..

I'm hoping this will be a good breakout for my new site http://xxxlist.ca

I just finished adding all the regional subdomains and submitted 250k of links to the search engines..

It's a free site like SMC but geared to the entire adult entertainment industry in Canada..

And it will always be FREE!

That?s good to know Alexis and good to have an endorcement of sorts from you about *******.

Canada is a country of shifting blame and responsibility about any ?controversial? issue or topic. From prostitution, to pipelines, to carbon taxes, veterans compensation for injuries, aboriginal compensation and self government etc etc.

Little wonder this country can never progress forward as it spends too much time fighting/blaming/being politically correct over issues instead of getting together and solving or resolving them.

Yes they are...but unlike The US, we have better things to waste resources on. If the FBI and the RCMP get together maybe there is an issue but unless drugs or human trafficking is the reason they won’t waste resources on a sting or bust. Then our canadian law creates a huge issue. By Canadian Law, the client is the criminal. Could you imagine what could happen if a high end escort reveals her client list? How many politicians get pulled into a scandal?

Also, via this logic....the website is at fault, the client is at fault but the girl is not? What? This is the best our last government came up with...a completely illogical law.

Better idea, strike down the laws and collect your tax money...

I wouldn't say we have better things to worry about.
Canada has different things to be worried about.
Most of them ridiculously stupid these days.
Like "Peoplekind".


Basically in Canada escorting is legal and advertising is legal.
However actually visiting escorts is illegal.
No one was ever sure how websites fit in.
If advertising is legal then seeing escorts should be legal.
That is like saying strip clubs can operate but no one can go to them.

Not sure but I think all these sites are breaking the law ,this from 2016 after Bedford case Advertising Sexual Services

For the first time in Canadian law, every person or business that advertises another person?s sexual services can be held criminally responsible; if they know about the advertisements and that the advertisements are to sell sex.^[13] This could include the owner of a newspaper, a publisher, the host of a website etc.
NOTE: Someone who is arrested for advertising sexual services could be forced to give authorities information so that they can identify and find the person who placed the ads. If you placed an advertisement, the person being criminally charged may be forced to give your personal information or IP address to authorities.

So websites like *******, Eros, etc with their non-USA based servers and owners are safe...or are they...

Big website owners should beware. The reason this happened is the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act. This changed the way websites do business, as all websites are responsible for all content including user content on their websites. Foreign website owners are safe unless they enter the US in which they can be prosecuted. These laws were not only passed to shift liability to the website, but also to prevent the next ?Backpage? as Backpage replaced Craigslist.

The protections to website owners over their users content has been removed by this law.
It does not specifically apply to other countries however the USA has long tentacles and can seem to push their legal power across borders as they see fit.
The US government controls domain extensions such as .com
So in fact they could take over any domain name they control if they see fit and get the proper warrants or whatever.

In Canada there was the Omnibus bill passed by the PCs with Harper that includes changes to advertising rules and such.
The bill was not accepted by the opposition and I suspect the current government is looking to change it.
Advertising for escorts is legal, just being a client is not.

I have not a problem giving out information of advertisers to law enforcement as I am required to.
The fact is most on my site do not have real personal information.
However they all are available to contact so not sure why they would need my help anyone.
The ads on Shemale Canada are mostly moderated and all independant escorts, not agencys or traffickers.
In Canada i think authorities would rather use the sites to track what is going on rather than have them deleted.

Backpage did not moderate much and there was private messaging and stuff going on that was underground.
Apparently one of the main reasons they were shut down is they sent out instructions to users how not to appear to be a trafficker.

Looks like ******* is quickly stepping into the vacuum left by BP. Just like BP stepped into the vacuum left by Craigslist when it was shutdown.

They are a company out of Vancouver and are advertising 10% off ads. Advertisers won't have to worry about the sanctimonious US Justice Department shutting them down...lol

+1 to being against language policing.

Agreed with everything said by Crag.

[Rockheart]

This political correctness has gotten out of hand. I may be a novice but I know that the idea is to not offend anyone... Crag, knows the same and miss kelliblueeyes doesn't quite get it.

Hey everyone has what they are offended by, I just don't like how a few people now tell everyone else what they are offended about also. She has every right not to like shemale or any other term.

I know where people are coming from but at some point it is personal preference.
We can't get to the point of having to share list of what words offend each other and what definitions of words mean to us before we can even socialize. Plus so many ideas get pumped into social media with people taking many things to heart that are just some persons opinion.

I could be gay or shemale but I am just me.
The fact I don't identify as some 'minority' or 'special interest' group at first glance doesn't mean my opinions are any less than others. You can choose to be called anything or identify as anything but it is hard for people to always know.

I just find no one can actually point to why shemale is offensive compared to anything else.
Ladyboy is pretty much the same idea but less people find it offensive.

Shemale is generally used in porn and sex work and most in these fields are pre-op, meaning best of both worlds, so to speak, She & Male. Ladyboy, transsexual, tgirl, transgender and other terms all refer to a transition or a gender split.
Truly a tgirl that is transitioned would only be called a girl which is generally their goal.

[Dita Dior]

Crag, even the clients rarely ever call us trannies or shemales anymore, unless they are total noobs or live in India.
I get it from an advertising perspective, but even Steven has distanced his many sites from those terms.

In any event, if shemaleusa got the traffic that shemalecanada does it would be worth advertising on

I guess I?m a Indian because I?m a total noob. Only because I call myself a tranny all day and night. People ask what to call us. I say tranny. I call myself a hooker, whore, hoe. Hell I?ve had ex boyfriends that are the size of a SUV of a man walk down the street with me and just to get someone?s laugh he would be like ?hey shedude come here? or f someone was looking at me he?d say ?that?s my shedude go get your own!?

I?m not mocking your transition since we all blossom at different rates but my assumption is once you?ve had more footsteps throughout the years of transition let alone experiences that you get to face throughout the present and the future to compare and combine with your past times you?ll have changed your view on how your addressing this topic today.

You remember me of myself at 18 at the second year into my transition. Everyone here can agree I thought I wrote then book and that I was the master of transition. It?s undetstandable.

Just know as time passes and you have more comfort and history being your authentic self you?ll realize there is nothing wrong with whichever name or statement you get called.


I wss in the grocery store with my early teenage brother and someone gave me a look and he said ?just because you are thinking about how it would feel to get it up your ass doesn?t mean you have to look at her that way?.


you have to only care about what you think and how you feel, when you forget about others thoughts opinions or cares it all simply becomes effortless and easy.

Hioefully this makes sense I had to say my thought even if I?m partially in depth of a vodka bottle this Friday evening lol.

Lol this is so something I would have said... I’ve rubbed off on you I see my pretty .

*start rant*

Basterds you could have at least credited back my 375 USD I had on my account before you went off and closed up shop on us. Wow that was a kick between the legs when I woke up to finding this out earlier this afternoon... 😒 ugh

and if backpage were to come back (I know it won?t or at least from how it seems) they better have the balance like it was left or stay closed...

I can only imagine who else had this type of inconvience happen to them today. Thanks backpage.. Basterds.

*end rant*
