Online Dating Regulation Update
Posted by Dave Evans
According to an article in The Washington Post, The Online Laws of Love, everybody is blond and skinny in cyberspace. The article begins with classic examples of online dating scammers. Russian brides, prisoners and progresses with brief mentions of the suits against Match and Yahoo, the Mail-order bride legislation as well as the ongoing background checks initiative started by Herb Vest at True.com.
Lawsuits against Internet dating sites for the false statements of other customers have mostly gone nowhere, in part because Congress basically immunized such Web sites with the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which says providers can't be held liable for the lies of third parties.
A good read with links to additional information. I'm still waiting for my contact close to the investigation to send an update about the Match and Yahoo situation, supposedly there is a lot of evidence that will turn the heat up in the investigation.
Speaking of True, have you seen the True ads? They appear to be going head to head with Adult Friend Finder.

Are those boobs "Truly" real? I think they should legislate checks to see if the boobs are natural. I feel the pain of every man that wants to know.

As I understand it, Herb Vest filed a law suit in Texas against Yahoo and AOL. Vest wants personal information on customers. Vest isn't happy that business and personal information is showing up in Blogs.
Watch out fellow blogger's! Vest is looking to file law suits against blogger's that havent' been kind to him or True.com.
Vest is on the war path over the leaks and blogs, so be careful
Vest filed under the old business name TrueBeginning. Vest doesn't want anyone to know about the filing.
Funny how Vest wants background checks and disclosure, but hides his own
