Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain and an outspoken advocate against human trafficking, said she had heard that federal law-enforcement officials had raided not only Lacey?s home but every office of Backpage world-wide.
?They?ve confiscated everything and shut the website down,? she said.
McCain called it a ?good day? in the fight against human trafficking.
Fucking hypocrites
BP headquarters is in amsterdam, the fBI cannot go into another country and raid an office that is complying with it's national laws (in this case the dutch laws). so i wonder how they managed to close down the server. whenever the FBI has raided a website in another country so website was not complying with the locals laws (which is not the case here). pressure from US government? i dunno
I've tried to follow he whole thing in the news and they're not saying mych except that backpage has been sized, no arrests have been made.
Ok, so i just read some updated news:
"The charges were filed in Arizona because the website was founded and is maintained here and it?s also where Backpage.com's servers are located"how stupid would be to have the servers in arizona?
