> And then there's the word stripping. People are clearly misunderstanding what happened there. An advertiser would try to palce an ad. Backpage's algorithm would respond "Whoops, you can't use that word", and ask the submitter to drop it. The submitter would change the word and resubmit the ad. Backpage would then delete any reference to the orginal ad. Isn't this literally what Facebook and a million other websites do? Go to post on your timeline, type the n word or other banned content. Local JavaScript says "look! The n word! You can't post that." Then, the user removes the n word and hits post again, and the posts goes through without error.
