During her extensive remarks, she offered no solid evidence that these sites were in fact facilitating child sex trafficking. It was Feinstein who should have been ashamed. Feinstein cited Rubmaps as one of 19 sites that supposedly 'act as purveyors of child sex trafficking in this country.' Those sites, she said, 'ought to be ashamed of themselves.' Dianne Feinstein (D–Calif.) was speaking about the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. Rubmaps entered the Congressional Record in March 2015, when Sen. Police have begun monitoring the site on the theory that, as a 2016 article in the magazine Prosecutor's Brief asserted, a good Rubmaps review 'indicates that the location is a brothel.' And when police and prosecutors take an interest, so do politicians. Increasingly, however, it also serves another purpose. The site lets clients know what to expect from massage parlors-and also what not to expect, offering clarity about which services are on offer and guidance about how to behave.
Some reviews are predictably racy, and some are, perhaps surprisingly, more PG-rated. T he website Rubmaps describes itself as being devoted to 'erotic massage parlor reviews & happy endings.' Users who pay for membership can write and read reviews of massage parlors.
