Watching this thread chronologically is like watching evolution of ppl from 1 era to another
I'm not here to debate on whether the website should be banned. Playboy was banned eons ago where there wasn't any internet, therefore any of its affiliated publicity channels, later websites are affected because obscenities / pornography materials exist in those channels related to Playboy, it was banned as a company, but not its products. Just like any other banned websites, to my knowledge, SBF didn't exist as a foreign hosted site initially, it was being shut down and shifted due to the regulations here, so I don't think that the govt has not done anything about it. Just that it is hard for our internet regulations to be enforced because this involves cross countries regulatories. If it is that easy as to write a petition and demand a shutdown, online piracy who have ended long ago. Likewise, govt cannot be spending huge revenues to chase after these sites and clamp them down and it is in the millions by today and like viruses, it's impractical and impossible to be putting an absolute control over these sites for as long as there's a demand, there'll be someone to supply.
So saying if someone effectively closed down SBF, you can't stop that same guy or his ardent fans from starting another calling it ABF / BBF / CBF whatever. Just like how terrorists able to keep operating websites for their followers.
You can't pin that they are soliciting for illegal activities either, while they do provide contact infos and even startling enough... reviews... what the heck... =.=" What evidence you have that the real activity took place? They could simply pass it off as sprouting nonsense on web. It is impossible for the local authority to be demanding website conversations from the site too, again cross country limitations.
Therefore it is really hard, unless a victim of that activity catches cold hard evidence and supply them to the authorities. It's really hard to be pinning such internet activities.
Sigh, the best solution will still be domestically derived solution, not as in country level, but home level.
