I personally think them removing the personals section was a bit silly. It is like Facebook saying, we are going to remove our messenger feature because people could use it to chat about illegal stuff. Or Google saying, we are going to remove our cloud storage because people could host illegal stuff.
- anyfactor 5y agoWell, didn't some people accuse Wish of facilitating human trafficing through listing over-priced cabinets?
- newbie789 5y agoThat was Wayfair IIRC
- jdavis703 5y agoIt was pretty clear the Congresspeople were specifically targeting online classifieds like Backpage and Craigslist (even though the law itself is vague enough to target any website operator). I don’t blame Craigslist for not wanting to face off with the Department of Justice and spend years dealing with negative PR about how they’re enabling sex trafficking.
- encryptluks2 5y agoI think they saw them as easy targets to pretend like they are being productive. Sex trafficking happens on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. but they aren't shutting down. The best way to prevent sex trafficking is investing in free and better education, improving resources for the poor, and providing health services and counseling.
