[2] When I say people can contact E-I with their concerns, I mean E-I can deal with some problems that relate to activity on the E-I website, and we can also offer some advice and information, for example contact details of police departments, or, in the case of escorts, contact details for organisations that can offer various support services to escorts. People are welcome to contact E-I in this regard. I do not mean that reporting criminality to E-I is an alternative to reporting it to the police, it is not, as per above, if you know about criminality, you need to report it to the police.
[3] Regards accusations that E-I is not doing enough to weed out dodgy advertisers. Really, you do not know what E-I does or does not do here, as you are not privy to information on this subject, as it is confidential. We provide review facilities, reporting fake photos facilities etc, but regards the serious matter of criminality, E-I cannot discuss these matters with the community at large, but it is incorrect to say E-I doesn't do anything, in fact E-I does a lot.
[4] Regards QPH. I think QPH needs to report to the police if he has information on criminality. I do not agree with him publishing documents on this type of thing. I do believe that not everything that goes on in relation to QPH's data is QPH's personal doing. I think other people use QPH for their own means. What I mean is, I think other people, whether they be clients or criminals, are using QPH's data. Incidents like yesterdays emails being sent around would be an example of this I think. I don't know how QPH would even have addresses for so many escorts, so I can only assume somebody else - a client or a criminal - got that information and added it to QPH's original report.
I have some more points too, but I am not sure if I can say them yet for confidentiality reasons.
