It's ridiculous that they charge the owner of an ad board for the ads that got posted. Ads for "escort services", which are legal.

- alasdair_ 10y agoThey are not being charged for allowing people to post ads for "escort services", they are being charged for knowing about sex trafficking and facilitating it in order to profit from it. The facilitating part of it is key. If you are FedEx and deliver a package of drugs, that is not your fault, but if you offer a special service where, for a large fee, you'll bag any package in coffee grounds and srap the outside of it in cleaner to reduce the smell, you'll probably be charged with facilitation of a crime. If you own a hotel where children are regularly being raped and it has been brought to your attention many times and you still refuse not to stop offering the special room in your basement with extra soundproofing to single men who show up with children, that's facilitation too.
- imaginenore 10y agoBy that logic the owners of Google should be charged with thousands of crimes. They are aware that you can find all kinds of illegal things through Google, and they financially benefit from it.
