TER and BP down

[HarleyRose]

FOSTA isn't even full affect yet, and already BP is down, and now when trying to log into TER, this pops up..

"The U.S. Congress has passed the Stop Enabling Sex-Trafficking Act (SESTA, also known as The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act or FOSTA). SESTA amends Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, a federal law which has served as the bedrock of protection for online publishers – from Facebook, Yelp, Reddit and Twitter to The Erotic Review – from being held liable for user’s posts on their sites. Under SESTA / FOSTA, the U.S. government can prosecute websites and those that operate them criminally for posts made by users.

As a result of this new law, TER has made the difficult decision to block access to the website from the United States until such time as the courts have enjoined enforcement of the law, the law has been repealed or amended, or TER has found a way to sufficiently address any legal concerns created by the new law. TER is not alone in responding to this threat to your First Amendment Rights: Craigslist has pulled all of its Personal Ads, Reddit has closed a number of Subreddits and sites such as CityVibe and Men4RentNow have gone completely dark. Other websites have taken or are expected to take similar actions."

Land of the free? Yeah, right. 😒

You would just download something like hotspot shield VPN, install it, reboot, and pick the country you want to “appear” to be in and thats it.

But honestly any VPN worth a damn is going to charge monthly and since something like ter is motly about reviews, I cant say itll be any use trying to access anymore since the majority arent going to bother setting up a vpn for it.

There may be some proxy sites thatll pull up ter for you too, but kinda same thing with it, the masses would all need to follow suit and chances are they wont.

Those have been down for months. You're not missing anything with TER. TER shut down while I was still under paid subscription and I got nothing back for it. Then they sent me an email months later telling me I was about to expire. I wouldn't download a VPN just to get on it because most people aren't going to do that which means that you'd be wasting your time. Just use Twitter, EROS, and 411.

This was posted months ago when the sites had just started shutting down. Im not interested in changing my VPN or anything anymore as I dont see it necessary at this point anymore. Thank you though!
