Backpage Backpedals Into Blame-shifting
Tony Ortega
Recently we saw how Backpage turned a blind eye to a woman who had contacted them to report that one of the “escorts” depicted in their online ads was only 17 years old. Despite the fact that the woman had informed them that the juvenile had been attempting to recruit the complaining party’s daughter, who was only 15 years old.
Over these past few weeks we’ve been building the case that instances like this were not one time mistakes.
