quote [ Seven top officials of the website Backpage.com, long accused of facilitating child sex trafficking, have been arrested after a grand jury in Phoenix issued a 93-count indictment alleging conspiracy and money laundering, and the government on Friday seized all of Backpage’s websites around the world. ]

No, what I'm saying is that with these formal charges being filed... not one involves the buzzwords used in the media over the last several years and that doesn't surprise me one bit.
It may be against the law to do all the things they are charged with... but if they were actually trafficking or facilitating child sex... you can best believe that would be one of the charges. And they are not.

Rather than risk it becoming a conversation on sex work in America and to what extent technology is culpable they poisoned the water to make Backpage.com completely unsympathetic and irredeemable.
