As I recall from reading the Seattle Times and watching the local news casts, there was a problem with many of the ads in question for Escort Services which led to either sex slave exploitation or underage girls being exploited.
Neither of these cases, in my opinion, are good things. I see no reason children or unfortunate boys, girls, men or women should be exploited. Its just wrong.
The Seattle Attorney General's office was attempting to reduce these ads by getting the receiver of these ads to prove the person offering Escort services be of legal age. To me that in of itself is not a bad thing. I am sure there are members of our society who object to the regulation of anything. Sorry, but our society needs a framework of guidelines that is acceptable to the majority.
Anyway, there is bound to be a bumpy road to some extent while the two sides work out how it can be accomplished. Maximum prevention from exploitation of sex slave trade and minors being forced into Escort Services on the one hand and the First Amendment Protectors on the other hand concerned for any curtailment of Free Speech.
This is my opinion.
