How about TER? Personally I think this is all protected speech. Although TER isn't like C/L with blatant adds, it does provide phone numbers so it might as well be a facilitator for prostitution. TUSCL is on solid ground IMHO because it's not directly providing names and numbers of sex providers.

Hope so! Else we might all being doing prep walks in the not too distant future.
TUSCL is safe. Because the forum and reviews are "fiction" or "stories". No real proof. Where as redbook, CL, Backpage... they are soliciting and posting advertisements. Here we are posting "reviews" which people can say are fake. But if LE wanted to look into the "reviews" to do their own case against a club. They could but to use it as evidence is like using so and so says that Jim deals coke. They need to find the coke on Jim before they can bring him down. Where redbook and others they just have to call the number and see what happens.
Also I think this is due to trafficking of women, children. So if they find woman who was kidnapped and trafficked on an ad on the site. They can go after the site. See the difference.
I also forgot to add... Unless you post an ad on that site you shouldn't worry or unless you posted a review i wouldn't worry. Because having an "id" or membership doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Because people have memberships to place that have been busted for illegal things but if you are not an "active member" having a "free" membership wont do a thing to harm you.
@crsm: I don't know if the distinction are fine enough that it would matter to public perception of the police. And if it doesn't matter to the public, if the police want too they will find a way to make it happen. What state is the TUSCL server in?
Redbook getting taken down is definitely a disaster for local pervs. It's the way we swapped info on the girls, clubs, etc.
There's absolutely no worries from members, even if they wrote reviews or participated in the forums -- there's nothing actionable from law enforcement from hearsay, and they don't have resources to go after literally thousands if not tens of thousands of guys who simply wrote something on the internet.
And now the world is safer….fucking jackasses. I wonder how many people were murdered or robbed in SF during the same period of time that this crucial investigation was occurring.
goonster.... Exactly why they were taken down. Also they were investigating a murder and found that the site could have been where they met. So they looked deeper and found the money laundering.
You'd think, when you are running a business you know might be extra-scrutinized for political reasons anyway, you'd be extra careful to stay clean. Idiots, if it's true and not just political
