2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Wow, imagine willingly providing that information to what you know is a criminal organization. The people who signed up are obviously a major security hazard to whoever they work for.

[–] Phlogiston@lemmy.world 115 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah. This is the real issue here.

Sex work should be legal and the morality discussion here is about people lying to their spouses and if anybody is being forced into sex work… all interesting topics.

But anybody implicated in this situation needs all security clearances and access dropped because they are high risk morons.

It's signing up to a blackmail scheme.

Oh, well in that case will you need me to provide my clearance number as well?

Obviously it’s the sex workers that are going to jail for this, for tricking all these high level citizens.

Or better yet, we actually publicly prosecute them, or at least "accidentally" leak the list

I'm guessing this is prostitution with extra steps to make sure they can wiggle out of it, but if we actually held them to consequences things would get better quickly

100%. I wouldn’t even give all that information to my online pharmacist and I need some of those medications to survive.

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah my employer don't need to know fuckall about what meds I'm on.

[–] cuibono@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Seriously. How dumb do you need to be to be in an actual high ranking (government) position and willingly give up all that info to an even slightly shady organisation? Never mind an illegal prostitution network you are sure is both illegal and easily blackmailable.

Say something is exclusive and idiots will do anything to get in.

Facebook got so huge because at first you had to be in college to be on it. After a couple years they opened it up to everyone and pretty much everyone signed up.

Doesn't always work. See Google+.
