I add that now the johns will have to prowl the streets and massage parlors thus making them exposable to stings. Pimps will no longer sit in their car with a 1000$ phone awaiting them. They will be forced into the streets and bars as well.

Oh look it's you again. I'll just copy/paste my reply from the other thread:

ok let's look at the Senate report

Second, Backpage knows that it facilitates prostitution and child sex trafficking. In addition to the evidence of systematic editing described above, additional evidence shows that Backpage is aware that its website facilitates prostitution and child sex trafficking.

ok, words were edited and they seem to be aware users use their site for child trafficking. Was it by manual edits or was it their filter?

Ferrer told Padilla in a November 17, 2010 email that the word “Lolita” “is code for under aged girl [sic].”138 A similar understanding led Ferrer to add the words “daddy” and “little girl” to the Strip Term From Ad filter.

Oh, it was their auto-filter. Makes sense if you don't want ads for kids on your site.

And what is the evidence Backpage was aware their site was being used for children in the report?

The Subcommittee’s investigation reveals that Backpage clearly understands that a substantial amount of child sex trafficking takes place on its website. Backpage itself reports cases of suspected child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children; in some months Backpage has transmitted hundreds of such reports to NCMEC.

Oh. They know backpage knew, because backpage would willingly report their findings to NCMEC whenever they found child victims.

But, of course, the general public reported kids, too.

Backpage is involved in 73% of all child trafficking reports that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) receives from the general public

So... they're saying 73% of all children reported to the NCMEC are thanks to the site backpage. Doesn't that mean they made finding trafficked children a lot easier?

Last year, NCMEC reported an 846% increase from 2010 to 2015 in reports of suspected child sex trafficking—an increase the organization has found to be “directly correlated to the increased use of the Internet to sell children for sex.”

So they seem upset by additional 'reports' of sex trafficking. Is that because they prefer a world where child sex trafficking goes unreported?

As unsavory as it is to hear about this abuse, it is necessary if you are actually aiming to end it. All they've proven is that reports of trafficking have increased, not the trafficking itself. That just means it's more transparent, not more prevalent.

Their automatic filtering of terms that implied the girl for sale was underage, before their moderators looked at them, made them complicit.
