It's been a year since U.S. authorities shut down the biggest site in the online sex-for-sale industry. They're now looking into other sites that advertise escort and massage services.

U.S. authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, are investigating whether the sites have engaged in or knowingly enabled human trafficking, prostitution and money-laundering, and what ties they may have with David Azzato, according to people.

Because stopping getting a rub and a tug is such a priority for the criminal justice system. Ask the president of the New England Patriots? Making America Safe Again? Safe from what?

Pass legislation to regulate the industry, protect sex workers, and get that tax money!!

Good. Hopefully they'll go after ALL porn sites and shut those down too.

What a mrss. Push sexwork farther into the underworld, where it will be harder to find those who want and need help. I guess the powers that be feel that if we don't see them, there is no problem. 😠

It’s time to legalize sex work.

Well one thing for sure: If there’s a Clinton email address in there, you can bet this will quietly go away.

All it does it make sex work more dangerous.

Ask the Patriots owner, Robert Kraft. I'm sure he knows about all the websites and all the massage parlors.

meh, just decriminalize it. Thats a useless fight actually.

ENBrown Does not approve.

Maybe they should investigate Twitter? There are plenty of escorts advertising on here. $TWTR

Bring them back

Yes, stocks are up again. No, recession worries aren't goneThe U.S. economy is sending some worrying signals about a possible recession, yet the stock market has gone on a what-me-worry ride toward record heights. Only the media promotes a recession. Did you see the retail sales report? Guess not. The major players in the market know 'who' controls trump, that he is playing/gaming/floating all markets for personal gain. Alot of those preselected and willing to play along are making a fortune. One reason only..the President want it that way. But some of us know that you can’t fake the economy
