I see absolutely nothing wrong with this site other than the illegal, unconstitutional censorship by means of government bullying (also illegal and unconstitutional). The U.S. courts have ruled time after time that Backpagedotcom was obeying the Federal laws governing their computer services. However, the U.S. Senate has allowed their subcommittee to step up the bullying to the point Backpage has had to remove the Adult section of their site. This is a totalitarian government tactic. Again, there is/was nothing wrong with Backpage or Craigslist, which was also forced to the same action years ago. Make no mistake, this is pure government censorship and no one should willingly allow it.

Have been following this site for years and have not had a single problem with the site or those who advertise on it.

Simple, easy to use classifieds site. The idiots whining about "adult content" on a subsection of the site seem to have missed that that is the ADULT section, and are falling for fear-mongering, and generally just not thinking. Never mind the fact that the claims made against it are totally bogus and trumped up. *****

Prostitution site - NOT for children. Adult and escort ads are this company's main source of income, allegedly fostering human trafficking for which the CEO was arrested on ***** and warrants were issued for two other top executives. Over 500 localized subdomains of backpage.com are cloned for SEO spam. References: ***** *****

This site facilitates sex trafficking and offers more risk than benefit considering such.

The adult section of this site has come under criticism for enabling the sex trafficking of minors. See: *****

According to The New York Times backpage.com is THE biggest forum for sex trafficking of under-age girls in the United States (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/opinion/sunday/kristof-financers-and-sex-trafficking.html?_r=1).

WARNING, here is what the BBC said: "US classifieds website ***** has become one of the primary destinations on the internet to buy sex. Hundreds of advertisements are posted each day by both pimps and prostitutes." See here: *****

This site contains "sexy" and possibly pornographic pictures. Not cool upon unexpectedly.

Great site

***** belongs on the backpage. There are no actual resources or information to be offered by backpage, and their links cannot be trusted. Yet they plug up legitimate advertising pages everywhere. Don't trust backpage.com. It's just spam!
