James Houran responds to the comments on the Michigan bill passing. Some choice comments:

Bloggers, industry insiders, and organizations like SITRAS, IADW, and IDEA OASIS do not speak for the industry — THE CUSTOMERS DO. And, the customers keep telling the industry repeatedly in surveys sponsored by us and others that safety is their number one concern and that they support disclosure laws as proposed by TRUE.com.

TRUE.com is not concerned with pacifying industry insiders. We are here to address customers’ realistic fears associated with online dating that the public has repeatedly told the industry are keeping that industry from growing.

No one is trying to legislate TRUE’s business model into law. Too many industry insiders are promoting public perception of these bills as regulatory in nature. The fact is the proposed bills only concern disclosure.

If customers want this, they could flock to those dating sites that respond to their needs. No need for a law mandating anything.

If you need a law, you don’t have a real concern.
