Say Goodbye to Backpage. First CL now Backpage

Looks like Backpage/Village Voice is going to tell these AG's to go fuck themselves:

Good for Backpage.

Here's an excerpt from Backpage's response:

Backpage.com is disappointed that the AGs have determined to shift blame from criminal predators to a legal business operator in an apparent attempt to capitalize on political opportunity during the election season.

The Internet was born. The federal government enacted laws to regulate its use and to allocate responsibilities and immunities to web operators. Backpage.com follows those laws and it declines to censor an entire section of free speech from its website.


Censorship will not create public safety nor will it rid the world of exploitation.

Good for them!
