Sounds like they got told this was likely to be illegal.

Hard to say. Their site their rules, but over the years I found them to be fair and sensible when it's comes to treating members. They have got their faults because there are so many profiles, like the thousand and thousands, they can't keep up with everything. The whole site could be run by only a small amount of people?

They were likely to have some pressure from above, maybe some crazy MP claiming most foreign nationals are trafficked? They would also lose a lot of money and traffic if the providers were to leave the site and someone set up a rival site as a result. Who knows. Just thank you to the girl who tried to help by creating a petition.

There will be a lot going on behind the scenes and they probably get contact from law enforcement agencies related to people trafficking, so they may have decided to do this as a proactive measure to do the responsible thing to stop or reduce people trafficking but it has had unforceseen consequences on non-trafficked SPs. They are probably rethinking their approach and a new measure will be introduced later.

I'm not really sure that making SPs have publicly accessible face phitos was going to stop people trafficking or fake profiles. Unless they expect SSs to report profiles where the face doesn't match the SP they see. Would most SSs actually do that?

It would just drive the traffickers off their platform onto another platform that doesn't enforce this rule but it also drives most SPs off as no SP really wants their face out their publicly for the reasons mentioned on this thread.

Need to come up with another way of regularly validating that the person operating the profile is the person shown in the photos.

There is also an anonymous line where you can report suspected trafficking like someone who you visited and seemed unwell. How could AW know. They are just an advertising platform with the thousands of profiles and cannot check everything. It's easier for them check the cam providers as there is a moderator, but they can't know what happens out and about in terms of physical meets and set-ups.


So yes they probably rely on SS reporting anything of this nature.

Perhaps they should just advertise the number on all profiles, so that more SSs are aware and these people can get the help they need.

It will never happen - the admin load would be too high

A banner like they did with the Covid announcements would hardly take a lot of effort. If it’s in peoples eyeline it might give them something to be aware.

It's just one change, but it would take up space used by another advert or text. It would be simple to do once, but it might need to have a different number based on where you accessing the page from or possibly where the SP's profile is located.

Official confirmation from them today which makes it very clear :

Hidden Image/Members Only

My understanding is that anyone who had their profile removed will be able to have it restored but they will need to go through the verification process again. I don’t know this personally but saw it elsewhere.

I can certainly confirm that removed profiles have reappeared on my HL but are currently not fully active so this would seem to bear that out.

Good news that common sense prevailed.

I am sure that change caused a lot of distress for a lot of people.
