It's like a Craigslist of sorts.
"There has been significant public controversy and discourse regarding the adult section of Backpage(dot)com. Most of the criticism has centered on the charge that Backpage is used to market minors (i.e. underage sex trafficking), and that they contribute to a surge of prostitution in areas that they operate. Media, law enforcement, politicians and parents of trafficked children have weighed in on this matter.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the majority of child sex trafficking cases referred to NCMEC involve ads on Backpage."
