Also noticed the rates he paid these girls were low, especially given what he was making them do.

Why should we listen to people actually trying to stop it that think it's a bad idea?

You'll never stop it. You might as well improve, watch and tax it. Charge a licensing fee with a health card every month? Certain rooms in hotels / motels will be used, away from normal people staying there. Now anyone not licensed get their car taken, fines and prosecuted. Sort of like weed. Even have a place of business where many girls can work (bunny ranch). This certainly can't make things worse, this is all my opinion of course. Now the donut eaters can concentrate on real crime.

I follow a lot of strippers on various social media platforms and the link to the petition to repeal FOSTA is being passed around.

I feel the only real winners in the end, if this isn't repealed, will be pimps using, abusing, and endangering these women who can no longer do their own advertising.

I also found this aricle to be informative with regards to some of the negative affects of this bill.

[blue]Your intentions are good but this administration has literally ignored that site, it would be a waste of time.

Though to be fair, the previous one wasn't much better.

I used to hate their multiple ads with name changes. I thought they were strictly tease with no extras. Glad I never went.

CATEGORIES: News Local News Oakland County

WATERFORD TWP. (WWJ) - Federal, state, and local authorities have shut down three Oakland County businesses for allegedly selling sex.

Detectives and agents from the Waterford Police Department -- together with U.S. Border Patrol, Homeland Security and Michigan Corrections Department raided a trio of massage parlors Wednesday afternoon, after determining women working at the offices were offering sexual services for money, police annoucned Friday.

None of the businesses -- identified as Sun Spa on W. Huron Rd., Massage Oasis on Highland Rd. and Brownstone Therapy on Airport Rd. -- had a license to operate. In fact, police said, none of them had ever applied for a license.

"There is no place in Waterford Township for this type of criminal activity," said Waterford Police Chief Scott Underwood, in a statement. "Even when it occurs behind closed doors, sex for money is still prostitution and we will use all legal avenues to eradicate this type of crime from our community."

The proprietor/manager at each location was issued a violation for operating a massage establishment without a license, but no information was released regarding any arrests.

Police said federal agents were on site to assist with any potential forced prostitution and/or human trafficking issues.
