wtf?
Not sure if one human rights violation can justify another one. This is a classic case of 'shooting the messenger,' but one that has dire consequences for all of us. If a media publication or website is liable for every action taken by any individual that publishes any content on their site, free speech is dead in America. In addition, corporate protections are erased when the 'faceman' of a complex organization is now responsible for every action taken or policy made by that corporation. If Kamala Harris and her ilk cared one bit for 'sex slaves,' they would leave Backpage intact and have the police scanning the site daily for postings by potential traffickers. Erasing the forum pushes the activity underground where it is harder to monitor.
