Social Media Prositution Ban Leaves Brothel Owner Upset [PHOTOS] Linked In New Rules Prohibits Business For Legam Brothels

Linked In, the social media app used for business, is not allowing all businesses to use its services.  According to the Huffington Post, LinkedIn's decision to prevent prostitutes from using the site to market themselves has one legal brothel owner feeling, well, screwed.

Linked In's new privacy policy and user agreement policy prohibits escort services from advertising business. The Huffington Post interview Mid House, Nevada based Brothel owner Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlight Bunny Ranch and he was not pleased with the social media restrictions.

"Are you then going to shut down Steve Wynn's casino in Vegas, where gambling is legal?" Hof asked The Huffington Post rhetorically. "Don't paint me the same as the people who are doing things illegally." Hof was extremely upset because Linked In services arre not restricted for porn stars, who are allowed to use the popular business networking app.

"LinkedIn was enabling illegal prostitution, but they need to go after the sex traffickers and leave us alone," Dennis told The Huffington Post.

While Hof disagreed with Linked In's reformed policies, other brothel owners were pleased. Susan Austin, who runs the Mustang Ranch brothel near Reno, Nev., told the Huffington Post that the new ruling is just because social media is advestising, and advestising prostitution is illegal.

"Advertising is against the state statutes and I wouldn't allow my ladies to advertise in any form," Austin told The Huffington Post. "Social media is a gray area that turns ugly fast."

Although "women of the night" can not use Linked In to share their business, other social media platforms are available such as Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest.
