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™.

Where it’s legal? Are we talking about the same country?

There are literally less than 50 locations where you can legally be a prostitute in America. Even if they had 50 employees each that is 2500 possible prostitutes to protect and regulate. Now, you and others implied making it legal a-la George cat

Now, you and others implied making it legal a-la George Carlin. That would increase the ‘potential’ legal prostitutes (all who would need protection and regulation) to approximately 326 million minus children under age... except we know that’s bullshit because people selling children TODAY, why would they stop just because adults could now do it legally?

I do not believe all 326 million is residents (minus children) will participate in selling sex for money. I believe more will (millions, across the country) than law enforcement can handle. Overflow of that lack of enforcement will become criminal activity, criminal enterprise, and eventually organized crime.

From what we can see NOW in how that illegal black market works, women get WRECKED. Violence, control, and money is all I see anywhere LE does not have a presence.

Is it doom and gloom everywhere? NO! However “I” am not willing to sacrifice even 1% of the population just so the other 99% can do something they are already allowed to do (just not anonymously and not for money).

That’s it, I think that’s the only thing we disagree on this subject.

You (and others here) believe Backpage was worth taking the good with the bad. As someone that got an in-depth look as to what was going on behind the scenes, I believe you are mistaken about the cost being worth it.
