from what I understand, it was a teen TGP that used thumbs linked to sponsor galleries. Some of the galleries looked questionable, but they are all from reputable sponsors. Whether or not the sponsor would give out the ID info is another question. They asked for a certain # of docs and gave a deadline, then shut down the sites before the end of the deadline, which makes me wonder if it may be out of their hands now.
The other thing that came to light was that a few of his link trades were walking some very fine lines, if not totally crossing them. Whether or not he knew that, he claims he didn't and has removed them.
Although I don't think DirectNic has the authority to request documents, I would hope they had legal counsel before doing all this. I also think there is more to it than we know.
an interesting situation for sure, which could definitely impact all of us.
