Tried to see ads for backpage. The personals and massage section is gone. Logged in minutes ago.
Seized by the FBI

The article I read appeared to imply the entire site was being seized. And my visit just now has confirmed.

Frankly ladies and mongers, I expect this site, and every other hooker site to go dark very soon.

Orwellian takeover of our rights is occurring before our eyes.

I once counciled to "walk softly and carry a loaded AK47", and it appears that before very long, that advice is going to be taken more seriously, than it was at the time.

Our rights are getting stomped on daily. I think in California they passed a law of not going after underage street walkers. Does anyone see this as just being kind of easy to take sites off the internet and to hell with any real police work.
Time to clean off the passenger seat, we will all go back to the preinternet cruising for streetwalkers.

Therapeutic Services gone from CL as well

Postix.com down also. Some lesser known sites still up for now.
Still, I wonder... how many politicians used this and other sites?

I am going miss u guys!
Street walkers will not come back in style its just not going to happen .

The law says knowing promotes sex trafficking of any kind. Sounds like any site with ads for escorts could be shut down.

If you want to get technical and the government will. Any dating site is a sex trafficking site.So what happens if you go on a date and have sex? Apparently that is illegal now. I know it is a hell of a lot more to take someone on a few dates to get sex !!
I understand what they are trying to do and I agree with getting the underage kids back home or to a safe place. But as usual our government is going about things the wrong way.
Maybe we should ask Trump where he is getting his hookers from now?
