I am waiting for the legal process before coming to any conclusions. The government thinks they have a case to argue that Backpage does not receive safe harbor protections, and the only way that is possible is if they can prove Backpage was knowingly promoting sex trafficking. Which means they probably have some evidence to suggest that.
- ipsin 10y agoWhat legal process -- or specifically, what court case(s) -- are you referring to? My understanding was that the owners had beat pimping charges [1] using a CDA defense, and I didn't know what else they still have to contend with.

- kyledrake 10y agoThanks for the update, I was under the impression the court case was still ongoing. Looks like the judge threw it out on safe harbor (Section 230) grounds.
