Thank you bros for your detailed explanation. As someone who has never lived, or punted, in the US, I guess my questions are just for academic interests. But the reason I, for one, have never considered punting stateside is because the laws over there are confusing (at least to me). No one wants to have a Hugh Grant situation when traveling, right? So, you guys' explanations are exactly what we need! So, more questions:
1. What exactly got Hugh Grant in trouble?
2. I am pretty sure that submitting reports to forums like this one is not illegal, but could reports on this forum get WGs in the US in trouble? In the early days of this forum (pre-2010), bros here were very discreet not to state the names and addresses of the places they reviewed. We tended to use codes such as Mxy for May etc. Some Chinese-language forums here still use this practice. Over time, bros here become more relaxed, posting names of premises and WGs and their links and photos. But should the US bros be more careful?
3. Is it safe for WGs in the US to advertise on the Global 141 database associated with this forum? You said the federal gov has no jurisdiction here but but everyone in the world can see those ads...
4. On what legal basis were the personal and service sections on Craigslist shut down? | |
