Good topic and here is my 2 cents worth - which is probably worth less than 2 cents, but here it goes:

We are a long way from knowing what the fallout from this will be. As many have said, it will really be up to the courts. The first test case will set the precedent. The DOJ has already said they don't have time to police this and many believe that the judiciary will see this as overreach. We shall see.

I am not a political creature and have no expertise in these matters but my guess is they will go after the "low hanging fruit" first. Sites like the Erotic Review would be far easier to prosecute than say Max Fisch or the Buzz. TER caters primarily to escorts and illegal activity (illegal in the US) is openly talked about there. I know TER has taken their US forums down, but what about the profiles and reviews of US providers? Profiles contain information like "rimming allowed" and "cum in mouth". They may self regulate this too by taking all US provider profiles down. As long as those profiles and reviews are up, they will be a big potential target. It will be interesting to watch.

Eros Guide is another big question mark. After the raid on their call offices in North Carolina, they notified advertisers saying that they were based in Switzerland and that all our information was safe. It will be interesting to see how non-US based companies like TER and Eros Guide will be treated. Any of the websites that mix escort/GFE services with BDSM are likely to be gone for us going forward - either by self censorship or heavy enforcement of this new law. Personally I have never liked being on a site that mixes the two but we don't always have a choice if we want to advertise effectively. I would much prefer being exclusively on sites like Dickie Virgin that cater solely to BDSM. I may get my wish.

What's really sad for me to see is all the self censorship this is already causing. People are so afraid that they are policing themselves before the law has been tested or is even in effect. We are letting them win. Until there is a test case, I am not doing anything.

Obviously those of us that are established in the business will feel any fall out less than newer providers or those trying to get started out in the business. When the BDSM/fetish portion of Backpage when down, I didn't feel anything. If anything, I think it cleaned up the business a bit. But I am not a new Domme trying to get my name out. I am well indexed and easy to find. If sites like MF, the Buzz and Dickie Virgin bite the dust, it will be very hard for a new provider to get her name out there. I feel their pain.

You are correct that clips sites and chat sites like NiteFlirt are alternative venues but if this thing goes rabid they will fall too if providers start soliciting business through them. Both sites already have rules that are meant to prevent this, it's just hard for them to police and to date hasn't been worth it. If they go under a microscope, that will change.
Regardless, I think it's highly doubtful they will choose to go after BDSM anytime soon. We should all stick to best business practices on our own websites and social media. We know what that is, we just don't always adhere to it.

I've been using private (Luxsci.com) email for a while now because I've never liked the idea of data mining. However it's only good if it's used on both ends - meaning if I send an email to a gmail account, it loses its secure feature. That can be beaten by recipients signing up for a free account to receive a link to the encrypted message but most people don't want to bother. That might change.

So in summary, I am not panicking. I think it is sad to see this potential loss of freedom, but as a nation, we brought this on ourselves by being asleep at the wheel and trading liberty and freedom for security.
