Do you know how much child sex trafficking went on with backpage?
I had no idea how sad
This is such a tired line. Police and the FBI used backpage as a resource to find and rescue children that where being trafficked. Plus backpage was actively working to remove any and all ads for people that they thought where underage.
Now these children are going to be pushed back onto the street with no way for anyone to discover them and rescue them shutting down backpage and myredbook only hurts efforts to stop child sex trafficking.

Sorry I live in CA, it’s a nice try the Russians would be proud of, but in reality it won’t fly. Excellent try though.
Wtf are you talking about? It's a fact that she made her way into politics by sleeping her way there.
That was then. More recent Harris didn’t vote for anti sex trafficking law. The site donated to her and Pelosi lots.
