US Gov't got there wish and all adults ads are gone!
She probably got a bad review one time.....Kamala Harris more or less made her career as the SF district attorney and California Attorney General by going after Backpage and other adult pages. She's now a newly minted US Senator taking over Barbara Boxer's seat. While I tend to be pretty leftist in my political thinking (shock! surprise!) I think being reactionary about prostitution is neither a leftist notion or good public policy. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she uses her new position to continue going after these types of sites.
All this does is create the demand for another site like Backpage for sex work.
She's an American: sex is dirty and bombing brown people (note the hypocrisy) into oblivion is God's work. I guarantee when Herr Drumph declares WW3 she'll fall right into line voting for it.Kamala Harris more or less made her career as the SF district attorney and California Attorney General by going after Backpage and other adult pages

Leftists are not liberal... leftists are very authoritarian, what you probably are is a libertarian.
Leftists are far worse than the right about getting into your personal lives.
Leftist... Rightist... It don't matter and Backpage back then was fun when I had the time to daddle with it (good ol' days of craigslist as well) but now I rely on other reliable (often verifiable) sites that provides me with what I need.
I agree with @meiji but I hope it doesn't get to that point. The US is slowly veering away from its conservative views regardless of the current cabinet/house/senate/cupboard. Its better to regulate something rather than outlawing it.
(I apologize in advance for the dickishness of the following response.)
Thank you for defining my political belief system for me. It's very comforting to know that you know exactly where I'm coming from and know just what label I should use.
(end dickishness)
Politics aside, the whole movement to close up BP ads will be bad for all. At least for those using the U.S. version.
I'm watching some of the adult webmaster discussion sites about what's coming next but most are not wanting to tangle with the U.S. government.
Pretty sure eventually they'll just move it to another country.
Makes me wonder, why do they go after Craigslist and Backpage, pages that just have sections, when they could go after places like Cityvibe, that specifically cater to escorts?

A good example of regulating things would be a site called Rubmaps.
Rubmaps is just barely useful, IMO. Yes, it's not the hive of scum and villainy that CL or BP were, but theres quite a bit of inaccurate info in there, either by people shilling for a provider or someone trying to tear them down.
It won't get shut down, it'll just turn into a festering garbage heap ala craigslist personals... Which used to not suck, back when CL had adult ads.Pretty damn funny now. Ladies just starting posting there ads in women>men. haha
Just give it time before this area gets shutdown?
They sure do know how to ruin things because of lack of forethought. All they had to do was make BP regulate the section everywhere rather than totally banning it.It won't get shut down, it'll just turn into a festering garbage heap ala craigslist personals...

Is this going to be worldwide or just in the States?
