Asking for a friend? It’s tough out here. No face shots.

    Well, I did think of a reason and it’s not for selling your data. This was in the back of my mind but I didn’t know how to put it into words.

    From your perspective, you’re a private individual who wants to display a little ass for coin, all on the up and up. And how dare they ask invasive questions.

    But you do have to remember that ANY community driven site has abuse problems all the time, let alone one where sex workers are plying their trade. So in my mind, they are asking for FB so they can say “keep it real - we know who you are.”

    On the one hand this is dumb and implies a threat. On other hand their site would immediately fly downhill and get shut down if everything there could be done with total anonymity.

          Indeed I do. I’m gen-X 🙂 This sort of shit was unheard of - and unthinkable - when I grew up. This is everybody’s normal today but it sure ain’t mine.

            I’m also gen-x. Calling it dystopia when a show-yourself-naked website has unreasonable entry requirements for voluntary participation is not a function of age but rather privilege. And I thought I had soft hands and an easy life.
