CEO of Backpage arrested for Pimping

No, you are just using a straw man argument. A vehicle itself isn't illegal. Prostitution is illegal. Backpage created sections on their website for an illegal activity. They made money off those sections.

Go get em tiger. Bust em all. But in case you haven't noticed prostitution is here. It always has been and it always will be. Like marijuana, it's time to legalize it.

Child prostitution and sex trafficking ftw! Or, not.

To the idiots advocating for Backpage to be policed or taken down outright: get a grip on reality. Should telephone poles and bus shelters be taken down too because they serve the same purpose as Backpage - for the idiots that means IT'S A DIGITAL BULLETIN BOARD. How come no-one is going after the Twitter and Facebook CEOs whose platforms are being used by extremists to spread their message and recruit murderers?

Do you know (Nothing to do with back page) I reported a video a few weeks ago to Facebook which was over 9 minutes long (I didn't watch it all) where an oriental woman beat a child of about 7 with a sweeping brush repeatedly, it was horrific to watch, evident that the child was in dire peril…

They responded saying - thank yo, we have reviewed it and it does not go against our policies, we are keeping it on the site (Obviously they used more professional jargon than that)

Then another where a dog was thrown from a high story building in somewhere that looked like India, they showed the dogs legs broken… I reported that and they came back with more or less the same bullshit response! - I think a sick twisted sadistic bastard is holed up in a broom cupboard reviewing complaints

Yup, prostitution is illegal but escorting is not. Sure, we all know what an escort is but legally you can advertise a fee "for the escort's time". Backpage created sections on their website for a completely legal activity, what happens behind closed doors is between consenting adults. Which brings us to those two words "consenting" and "adults". If assholes use a completely legal avenue provided by backpage for human trafficking of adults and worse yet, children, how is the CEO of backpage responsible?

Folks, I think we need to report HA to the Texas AG. I found a link to BP right here.

Everybody, go call a lawyer.

We should be alright but it's not looking good for Steven.

So should we hold Ford Motor Company liable for a small percentage of people who drive drunk and kill people in their cars?

i don't get what you're saying- or trying to say

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.

lol

i dont think i've ever read anything more wrong in my life.

I think GA has an excellent point as it's really the pimps who've committed the crimes...but the reality is that a case against backpage will garner far more publicity, which is very advantageous to a prosecutor running for re-election.

Even when the likelihood of losing a case is higher than winning it.
