I had not seen this posted anywhere.

because someone here at FR is removing the news and/or moving it to chat.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement agencies have seized the sex marketplace website Backpage.com as part of an enforcement action by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to a posting on the Backpage website on Friday.

A Phoenix FBI official said that there was “law enforcement activity” on Friday at the Sedona, Arizona home of Michael Lacey, one of the founders of Backpage.

Hmmm.

Seems like that would at least qualify for extended news.

Isn’t chat for blogs, uuuuungh, hobbies and vanities?
