It 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.

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.
