Think more of an app like Uber (without the sexism) than a website. We are not a listing site or a marketplace. We take both sides of the trade, offering full support and customer service. We have direct relationships with providers. This puts us in a position where we have a real chance of detecting coercion and offering assistance. At a minimum this means access to our lawyers. We are aware this is a delicate and complicated matter with human lives on the line. A couple of us have direct experience in this area. We know this is not something that just code or any amount of decentralized blockchain buzzwords will solve.

I can explain more in private (details in profile), or shortly we'll have more public details available and I can send you a link if you like.

But suffice to say that in the cities we operate, we will end up putting a significant dent in coerced sexual services.

It is really the opposite of that. Pimps take a huge cut or 100% and generally have a more ownership-like relationship. Our platform is about providing services that empower individuals to decide how/when/etc they want to work.
