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™.

Do you really not get that they're talking about someone who posted on Backpage, not someone Backpage has anything to do with?

You’re responsible for what’s posted on your site, whether it’s terrorism, prostitution, or child porn. Ferrer confessed to actively assisting the prostitution. I know you don’t “believe” in confessions, but I don’t know what to tell you.

Why would a company that sells advertising "hide" ads? You're not stupid enough to seriously make that argument.

I said clients. Ferrer and his partners actively assisted prostitution on the site.

Backpage hasn't ruined anything, nor have you taken anything down. You've just moved it around, so that people selling kids can hide a little bit easier. And fucked up ComposerNate's site rankings, I guess.

To those that enjoyed using the site, sorry? For the sex workers that wanted to leave but could not, to any child sold at all on the site, and the children sold on the site and then murdered, sorry not sorry.

If you actually cared about any of the harm that can happen around these sites, you'd just be on them, watching for things that sound like they might be advertising kids and making your own posts for "young" girls.

That would have not stopped the money laundering, which was enough to shut down the site on its own.

That's what our cops did, by the way, if you responded to an ad for a "nineteen" year old girl, you risk a date with Officer Mustache.

Eh, you Canadians do it your way and we’ll do it our way, if that’s what you’re all aboot.
