I see the right is now borrowing the page from the left that all prostitutes are scared kidnapped girls shipped from Thailand.
TV should be next.Prime time should be family friendly as it was years ago.
Man, I sure wish the fedgov would pass a law to stop telemarketers...
Oh, Wait!
Nice to see Congress accomplish something.
And I appreciate how the writer of this piece uses “congressman” in front of a female’s name instead of the insipid “congressperson”.
My second thought - thousands of new street walkers, and thousands of new bitcoin accounts.
Imagine if someone created a user profile on a dating site looking for quick sex and someone becomes a victim of sexual assault. That person could now sue the website for not protecting them.
I am FAR from a saint or a prude, but I was shocked to read how many sites were listed. I knew of a few by name but the vast majority were ones I had no idea that they even existed. Obviously a bigger problem that I knew.
Thousands of dignified adults notice the website shut downs, and think to themselves; “Party Pooper!”
Sodomite marriage is a court protected “civil right”
Can selling one’s privates be far behind?
Nice to see some good news.
So this person is campaigning to stop sex trafficking. Then lists all the places it happens? I’m sure these websites appreciate all the free advertising.
I am unhappy that Craigslist had to delete the entire ‘personals’ category.
That was one of the few places you could express your honest opinion.
At least in the ‘rants & raves’ category.
I hate progressives.
These websites contributed to the abuse and trafficking of women and children. But its also true that there always will be prostitution and the argument for these sites was that they took prostitution off the streets. I wonder if, now that these websites are shutting down, we’re going to start seeing more hookers on the corner. That would be a bad result.
There has been a lot of action shutting down human trafficking during the Trump administration.
But that kind of thing happening here *is* difficult for me to imagine.I'm not claiming that women and girls aren't abused...*badly* abused...in this country but "trafficking"? I'm not so sure.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, so if a web site is responsible for actions beyond their control is the phone company liable if two people discuss illegal activity over a phone? Or is the government asking these companies to now spy on all their users to verify they are up to no good?
No doubt the majority of the folks profiting from these website operations are Democrats.
Trump signed this thing into law yesterday. Was hoping he would veto it.
This trampling of our first amendment rights should not be applauded by any conservatives IMO. Many websites are shutting themselves down for fear of criminal charges and I wager this will also extend to dating websites next because prostitutes could get on them as well . I don’t believe this has anything to do with the so called “sex trafficking” but just part of a takeover of the internet and the continued war against men.
