    What happens when I want a good massage and I find 25 massage businesses listed online or in a yellow page book – but the feds find out 1 of those 25 business offers an illegal happy ending. Will these same feds shut down the online advertiser or the yellow page book ?

    Good point.
    My understanding is at Escorts.com, the vendors (escorts) were able to provide information about their services offered on Escorts.com servers – some of that information considered illegal goods and services well beyond just a price.
