Top officials at Backpage.com indicted after classifieds site taken offline

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. ]

I don't know why you'd run something like this within reach of America™.

So should Durex be liable if prostitutes use their product?

Liable for what? Preventing pregnancy and disease transmission?

Um... YES! I hold them liable.. for doing the thing... that their thing does (the disease/pregnancy stopping, not the prostitution)... that isn't illegal or hurting anyone...

Backpage was happy to help stop trafficking.

They were until they weren't.

The next one (or five) probably won't.

You think we're going to let the next one (or five) get as big without being thoroughly embedded? Fool us once...

By all means, don't be compliant to stop child trafficking when approached by law enforcement. Some of our investigations, statistically speaking, need to be the 'easy ones'.
