Adult advertising
Thanks for your focus on the advertising issues raised by C-36, CAEC. That was at the heart of my OP. It's good to understand that for many SPs it's almost business as usual. But the fact is that an entire advertising medium has been closed - i.e. print media - for adult services, by C-36. While the law will ultimately be tested through the courts in the long term, C-36 proponents have disabled significant access to adult services. That was the true intent of the bill. Laws were already in place to prosecute criminal providers. While ultimately it may be shown that newspapers and internet search engines are immune from prosecution under C-36, most are not prepared to take the risk of carrying adult advertising. CAEC is correct in noting that these issues do not seem to be closely followed now, although many campaigned strongly against the bill before its passage. Those campaigners continue to do good work, but SPs who post that all is well because BP or CL or regular clients etc. remain available, are missing the point. Diminished advertising channels are a threat to the socially important adult services industry.
