Such a narrow view for some.
What lies in future for owners of BP none here can say. What happen in past is easy to research. Like Gag has said in past, when someone says something on fucking internet, SOMEONE or multiple SOMEONE will preach what they read as absolute truth. Perhaps it is truth, but perhaps its only part truth.
So many small minded people look only in their own back porch. Open your eyes and do your research. BP hired people in foreign countries ( mostly Asia ) to recondition the ADs people posted. Many who do not open eyes never realize how big BP was in big Asian cities like HK, SG and Manila. Or even in smaller cities in those countries. a 15 year old Asian girl to many of you looks no different than a 20 year old Asian girl. And trust in me when I say many Asian girls were on BP.
BP hired people or a company I don't remember which in both HK and outside Manila to clean up Ads. Their job was to teach the people who post the Ad how to word it so its not obvious they are underage. This was made multiple news and articles all through Asia and you can google all of this and see its fact not internet fact.
BP owners were not charge with being an escort, they charged with:
Federal authorities have charged the two founders of classified site Backpage.com, along with five other employees, with laundering money and facilitating prostitution. According to The xxxxxxxxxxx Post, the Justice Department claims Backpage took “consistent and concerted action” to knowingly allow ads for illegal sex work. The indictment alleges that “virtually every dollar flowing into Backpage’s coffers represents the proceeds of illegal activity.”
They took no action to make sure no minors, and the allowed very graphic Ads outside the US and sometimes even in the US. They should have been charge with facilitating the trafficking of minor if such a charge exists. I belive sites like EROS and P411 resonable safe because they take very much an effort make sure no minors. You can have IQ below 50 and know exactly what is being advertised.
Just my opinion
you can still see how many stars are next to her name.
