:mad CNN's argument against Backpage.com

This story from CNN has me pretty heated tonight. CNN is making the argument that Backpage.com somehow facilitates child exploitation, child prostitution, etc. Who are the idiots that write these articles, anyway? I thought "news" wasn't supposed to have an agenda. This news clearly does.

Backpage.com does not facilitate child exploitation any more than your local shopping mall facilitates child exploitation, assisting sexual predators in choose their victim for the day.

Backpage.com does not facilitate child exploitation any more than Facebook does. Why are they not running a story on Facebook?

Backpage.com does not facilitate child exploitation anymore than AT&T does, by allowing a predator to text or call a minor.

What this CNN article and the Attorney Generals are not saying is their issues with Backpage.com or Erotic Services / Adult Gigs has absolutely nothing to do with child exploitation. It has everything to do with the religious right knowing that a good percentage of the porn industry's talent came from CL, and is now coming from Backpage.com.

If anyone is exploiting minors it's these self-serving fucks who singing their siren song of child exploitation as a justification to wipe porn off the internet.

If they want to curb the issue, stop the problem at the source... Backpage.com has nothing to do with it.

Underage sex trade still flourishing online
