Yes, it is nice to ventilate one's proper feelings of disgust. However, nobody does a damn thing about it. In all likelyhood the state is looking for ways they can derive tax income from whoredom and Sodomite behavior. Given the current moral collapse I cannot see any American court stopping the advertisements.

A least you will learn the true meaning of "Free Speech"(sedition, treason, pornography, slanders, foul language, seduction of children, the advocacy of drug and other vice addictions, etc.)

One of the balancing factors to 'Free Speech' in the 'public venue' is that you can take as many of those 'free newspapers' as you want and burn them for fun. They won't arrest you and you lower the number of people who might read it.

Of course, you have to buy some carbon credits to pay for the 'fumes', but the whole issue is becoming 'moot' as everything moves to the internet.

There are only a few places where normal citizens are allowed 'free speech', and even fewer where it is used appropriately. (And IMHO, FR is one of those places)

Regardless to that, censorship is a fact of the internet, and so is money. Whether something gets censored/removed is always about 'money' and 'power'. It always has been.

It's just that with the internet, there are many more players. And in a way, the internet is a more elaborate picture of 'society' than the 'normal' channels (TV/Papers/Mags) are.

Whatever exists in the mirrors (media/internet) is a reflection of what we are, as a 'whole'.

Back in March, more than 650 faith leaders released a petition with nearly a quarter-million signatures demanding that Backpage.com stop enabling sexual trafficking in minors.

Meanwhile, momentum is building at the state level to make it more difficult for Backpage.com to enable sex trafficking of under-age kids. A Tennessee law similar to the Washington state law is about to take effect. And legislatures in both New York and New Jersey are considering similar laws.

So there is some push back against the purveyors of online prostitution.
