I wonder how many of the clicks were from other law enforcement organizations running their own honeypot ops?

Most of those clicks were probably from perverts, but it’s likely that many of them may have been from curious clickers trying to figure out “Is this real? Is this now going on in my area?”
For certain hot button topics, if in doubt, do not click at all!

Not that I'm going to go find out but I am curious if simply clicking on the site is enough to warrant a visit from the police.

It may depend on how often one is doing the clicking.
Every day? Every week ?

Clicks is one thing, making purchases is quite another. I imagine anyone who saw an ad like that would want to know, “is this for real, should I report it?”

I wonder how many did report the ad.

I wonder what would happen in D.C. A lot of Dems and some Repubs might take the bait.

The only pattern is cultural; many ew Canadians are only a generation away from societies where underage arranged marriages are still the norm.
