US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day.

To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!
 
so if a website for dating furries gets shot down by fosta, i wonder what other dating sites can get shut down because of it as well

All of them. No, seriously. It's why Craiglist shut down its' personals board. Under the new law, if it's found out that sex traffickers used any website or online service to facilitate their crimes, the owners of that website or online service are liable, even if they had absolutely no idea that was happening on their website or service. OKCupid, Match.com, PlentyOfFish, maybe even Tinder... they're all probably lawyering up right now to try to figure out some way to defend themselves.
 
First they came for the furries but I did nothing because I wasn't a furry.
I wasn't a furry.

Honestly, the only thing more autistic than a furry hook up site is government legislation shutting down a furry hook up site.
 
I absolutely love that the furry dating site is called “pounced”. Like that’s just perfect. I do hope they figure something out. Everybody deserves to find love, if for no other reason than so they won’t go out looking for it in public.

I'm sure that the lolz that can be generated from the purrsonals are well worth the site getting back up and running.
 
okay, like everyone has been mentioning, pounced was a good containment website for furries. now that its gone where the fuck are they gonna go? and wasnt there also a brony dating site as well? where the fuck is that sexually pent up autism gonna go now???
what the fuck has the congress done?

also a side note, is this actually just a move to set a precedence to hold websites more accountable for what their users are doing? if this actually gets passed it doesnt bode well for websites that have users distributing copyrighted material unknowingly
