When it comes to actual “trafficking”, that is forced, I back the effort 110%! Thus the widely held negative attitude toward pimps/managers/boyfriends/“security”.
The self respecting hobbyist would/should have NOTHING to do with even a suggestion of this kind of activity!
Reading these types of articles reminds me of the blatant LACK of enforcement in regards to AMPs. Don’t get it!
Damn, 21 million, sounds like a lucrative business. Who's in?
I've looked at these sites a bit and never even saw anything close to underage. And it would stick out like a sore thumb with all the methed out pics and obvious scammers.
Not that i go looking or anything, but i have never seen anything like the FBI has been saying. Ive been on Backpage for years and met some really cool people.. yes couples and ladies. Never seen anything... I did quit back in the day though because they did crack down on a friend of mine in Dallas and arrested her.
I mean it wouldn't be hard to do. Not like anyone is overlooking what they are doing. They are going after the site owners, not the actual ones posting supposedly minor ads.
In all these years I've never seen one remotely close to a minor. Usually it is the other way around. Old ladies wanting 300 for a shitty bj.
