Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
Utter bullshit from the asshole AG in Texas. Purely a move to appeal to his super conservative bombs & jesus crowd base.

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
the feminazi's and the social conservatives are strange bedfellows in this suppression of free speech and association. The Backpage business model will move offshore (the internet knows no boundaries) and the net effect will be more rather than less child trafficking, because the offshore entity will have no incentive to cooperate with requests for take downs of child trafficking ads. Backpage did, and look what good it did them.
Like all wars fought against the vagaries of human frailties, from prohibition to the war on drugs, the unintended consequences will be a greater burden to humanity than the original sin.

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
Backpage do NOT vet at all when using their services to promote ANYONE here in the UK unlike Eros who are rigid with their processes regarding certification and validation for each escort you want to feature with them!
There is no customer services in place that is visible, email correspondences and complaints are ignored! I would LOVE to know how many people work for the company in total worldwide, and if you said under 30 I would not be shocked!
One thing that I noticed a few months ago once the online payment system was reinstated Backpages use multiple bank accounts, I became aware of this personally when my bank kept asking me to confirm each transaction over a period, they informed me that I had sent money to 5 different banks located in China! - this was confirmed on my statement
Re Trafficking - I can't understand how Backpage could be held accountable for unknowingly advertising such unforgivable crimes however the stipulations of the law alter depending on the country that the services is provided! difficult especially as the site dominates Google world wide in the escorting industry!… quite allot of red tape and sounds like an expensive drawn out case ahead!
I personally hope that it is taken down OR strict policies are put in place because the thought of anyone being forced child, man, woman or beast is unthinkable! x

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
Funny how they went for the ceo of backpage to solve child prostitution or human trafficking or whatever the fuck they want to call it. If they actually had proof of child prostitution, they would have busted the pimps who are pushing sex with children. But the fact of thetater is that they have absolutely no proof. Nothing, nada zip. They just want the dumb ignorant public to make it look like they are taking action. It's soooooooo easy to find and arrest someone who is a ceo of a legitimate business than it is to find a pimp of children who is totally anonymous and hides in the darkness. But hey, I guess they just don't have the ability to properly run a law enforcement agency. That's the real crime here. And if anyone here can't see that, then you are totally blind and oblivious.

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
Here is a good report
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/06...g-charges.html
So Harris is running in an election next month?
I don't know much about US laws but here in the UK having read this article and look at the current ads posted 95% of ads are beyond the boundaries!
Is backpage to blame….. well thats the beauty of red tape!, Backpage blocked a request to disclose how they vet because they do not vet!
The law is the law - regardless of who believes in it or agrees with it!

and more importantly more people will be saved from the scammer posts and thieves

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
What are you talking about? It is a known fact that minors are pimped out on Backpage. I already pointed out two stories in which individuals were arrested for pimping out minors on Backpage. It is an issue with Backpage. Do you see minors on Eros? No. Why is that? Here is another story about Backpage:
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...da236206f.html
Another one: http://www.sanjoseinside.com/2016/02...l-in-milpitas/
I hope you are noticing a trend. Backpage failed to truly monitor their website and allowed child prostitution ads to be posted on it. In the end, it is Backpage fault for being targeted.

Re: CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping
So backpage is responsible for this? I think not. Bigkid got it right when he wrote.
"So should we hold Ford Motor Company liable for a small percentage of people who drive drunk and kill people in their cars?"
And to use his analogy. Tesla makes a car that goes 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and I have a bike that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds. So if someone who owns a Tesla or Honda and kills someone because they can't handle the car or bike, is the manufacturer at fault? Absolutely not. The crinals are at fault and they are the ones who need to be prosecuted. If we start to hold a maker of a certain product responsible for what others use the product for, that opens up a door for lawsuits and criminal prosecutions. And even worse, from what I read Carl Ferrer was charged with pimping minors as though he is the one who put the ads up. If they want to force backpage to make a more stringent screening process, I might be ok with that. But to charge him with the actual crime is just ridiculous. With charges like that, there would be a lot of ceo's in prison. Oh, but wait. Maybe that's not such a bad idea. Lol.
