Looks like Hookers.nl is doomed.
It was already a shadow of it’s former shell with all of the detailed girl reviews removed.

Dear Xxxxxxx,
A lot has been going on in the background about Hookers.nl and the AVG in recent times. After the data breach in 2019, the investigation by the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the adjustments to the forum, we recently received the investigation report from the AP.
The results of the report are not good and although the last word on this has not yet been said, Midhold has had to decide with a heavy heart to take Hookers offline for now. The biggest pain point now is that, according to the AP, reviews with a link to an advertisement do not comply with the AVG guidelines, because information is given that is not in the advertisement and for which the sex worker has not given explicit permission. In our view, this negates Hookers' right to exist. We are still in discussion with the AP and if more is clear about this, we will inform you further.
In concrete terms, this means that as of 8-7-2021 all users and messages will be removed from Hookers. Only the links to the ads on Kinky, Sexjobs and Redlights will remain active for a while. In this way, visitors can still find the advertisements of the sex workers that have been discussed.
We plan to post the same message on the forum next Monday and email it to all members.
We are really sorry that we have to close Hookers.nl but see no other choice for now. As soon as more is clear, we will inform you. We hope for your understanding.
Regards,
Midhold B.V.
