"…we can't turn a blind eye to open prostitution given that our laws say it is illegal."
Sure we can. Priorities. Same like police do not need to arrest a black driver for having an air freshener hanging on a mirror in the car's front window. Is that "blocking the view" a sufficient reason for the cop to get off the road and stop paying attention in case there is actual serious crime?
True. Perfect example given as well. In fact, the government ignored rentboy for its entire existence, basically. I firmly believe the Ashley Madison data dump scared enough politicians into eating their own to survive and see another day rather than risk being outed and having their personal closeted proclivities exposed. I think the takedown is really about sensitive data that people want to remain private as opposed to the whole prostitution angle…even though the prostitution charge is valid.
@pornofan:
By the way, what other sites are trying to fill the demand now that the presumptive industry leader is hors de commerce?
I've seen people move to http://hourboy.com/ and men4rentnow.com
It seems rentmen.com has disappeared in the last week or two.
