Since one could argue that selling coral frags and fish (animals) is considered legal by aquarists, why not send a petition to OfferUp, FB, Craigslist (really?), and others to get an exception and not have the bot take the ads down? If deemed illegal, then BAN all these transactions across the board, dare I say it, including this forum and others.
Otherwise, it feels like people are finding loopholes, avoiding keywords, put prices/descriptions in images (AI will catch up), or other means. Sounds like bootlegging and destroying the spirit of this hobby.
Bottom line - this is either black or white, illegal or legal. I’m certain we have reefers who practice law to help interpret and craft a petition. Let’s put an end to this.
Thoughts?
