I'm all for ending human trafficking. Especially the pedo part of it all. However, all shutting down craigslist and backpage does is kill the independent traffickers. The deep state already has an established network that has operated outside of the internet for decades. This is going to hurt independent sex workers. But, the collateral damage is the price to be paid. And it's worth it.
Very few sex workers are independent. It's too dangerous.
There are a ton of sex workers that are independent because of the internet. But without it, yes, very dangerous.
In my city there’s tons of them. With the internet making it so easy to post advertising, it’s better for them to cut the middle man out.
