Is this a serious thread? Do many HN users buy drugs and escorts illegally?
- cashier 7y agohi, yes; my question is absolutely serious. Do not see what your implicit between-the-lines written statement is pointing out to, like "all-of-you-are-bad-guys-if-you-do-X-or-Y" Thanks for participating.
- username90 7y agoJust surprised anyone would post this here, not sure why you don't just post in a relevant subreddit instead?
- buboard 7y agoDoes it have to be many?
- DanBC 7y ago> Do many HN users buy [...] escorts illegally? Paying for sex is currently legal in England and Wales. It's a bit complicated because there's a bunch of stuff which is illegal around it (soliciting; inducing someone into prostitution; paying someone who has been trafficked; paying someone under 18; paying someone who is being coercively controlled; etc etc) but the core activity (two people exchanging sex for money) isn't illegal. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/exploitation-of-prostitution https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crosshea... While it's not illegal there are understandable reasons to keep this private.
- username90 7y agoThe topic asked about Sweden and it certainly isn't legal there.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoThis sounds like an awfully naive question. There are many things that are technically illegal, e.g., pot that people buy frequently but would not want their purchases tracked. Not to mention the very common practice of buying a used car in cash but declaring the minimum allowable purchase price to the DMV to save on sales taxes. Cash is King for a reason.
