It is indeed quite scary, within the list it includes “inciting or controlling prostitution for gain” with punishment being large fines and jail sentences for site owners.
I’ve been doing a lot of research into the bill and I am still researching as to what can be done and the loopholes to get around the bill. I’ll keep this thread updated with my findings.

Inciting or controlling prostitution for gain is illegal already and is what we call pimping.

Just my personal opinion..
i don’t see this bill getting passed.
Platforms would get a way around things but removing likes list or anything escort related
And it would make the industry far more dangerous
Although it is worrying they are pushing for this I don’t actually see it ever happening.

Have been wondering how will this effect the independents whose website feature a list/page of friends with links to their websites. Does this count as the site owner being a facilitator or even mark them as someone who is inciting or controlling prostitution in some way?

The bill could be past because it's focus isn't prostitution, the prostitution part is only a small part.

Yes but the prostitution comes under the same umbrella in that bill. Which would put sex workers at enormous risks. Hence I don’t think this bill will go through.
It would put lives at risk and ask much as they are pushing for it I don’t see this happening not even in the slightest. But I could be wrong as I say it’s only my opinion.

It could also go through and then sit gathering dust, not being carried out most of the time, like a lot of the mountains of British legislation.

Even if it does go through I am hoping escort sites just remove likes list and keep things basic rather than nothing at all.

Cross fingers you are correct, I'd love it if sites removed likes lists.

Yeah I am hoping if it does happen they will still allow basic massage ads. With no mention of any likes ect.

The thing is even if the law is altered from it's current wording, we don't know how it will be applied. It could be interpreted that any individual or business involved in owning, running or hosting sites that offer sex for sale (with somebody other than themselves) will be breaking the law. Even if it is applied more leniently, many site s will get rid of us as soon as it is passed to make sure they stay on the right side of the law.

For example I personally expect that site builders such as wix and squarespace will no longer be willing to host escort sites in the UK if this hideous mess of legislation manages to get through.

This would definitely be the case, any company that isn’t specialising in the adult sector will just get rid of anything that goes against the bill.
