Backpage.com: Get Child Sex Trafficking Off Your Website!
Would you feel okay earning money from ads pimping out underage girls?
No one in their right mind would say yes to that question — and yet the website Backpage.com is doing just that every day. The site, believed to be the largest seller in the country of online prostitution ads involving children, repeatedly allows pimps to publish ads with photos of underage girls, offering them up for sex.
Backpage.com makes money from these ads, all the while claiming they have no responsibility for their content or the horrors these girls experience every day as they are repeatedly sold for sex.
There are a number of steps Backpage.com must take to protect girls from sex trafficking on its site, including prohibiting anonymous forms of payment and blocking and removing ads believed to involve children sold for sex.
To date, Backpage.com has refused to take these steps.
Backpage.com cannot continue to profit off rape and participate in the horrific human rights violations of young, trafficked girls. Send them a message today: It's time to take responsibility and stop benefiting from the exploitation of our children.
To Backpage.com:
I am horrified at the fact that you continue to make money off ads that advertise young girls for sex yet refuse to take measures to remove those ads from your site and protect children from sex trafficking through your website.
There are a number of steps Backpage.com must take to protect girls from sex trafficking on its site, including prohibiting anonymous forms of payment and blocking and removing ads believed to involve children sold for sex. Yet you continue to refuse to take these and other reasonable, responsible measures.
You cannot continue to profit off the backs of girls who are being sold and raped every day. It's time to take responsibility and take real action to protect girls and get child sex trafficking off your website.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
