#Backpage
President Trump paid 5.6M to a woman that he raped today.

He continues as president tomorrow with barely a backpage headline.

Them: What newspapers have you been published in?

Me: [shifting uncomfortably] Um … Backpage?

remember when most of Congress went hard after Backpage in early 2018 but did nothing to actually help young people who are poor, homeless, and trying to get by
The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

“This bill won’t pass”
“This won’t affect me outside the U.S.”

This is ignorant. These things trickle down. Go educate yourself on censorship. SESTA/FOSTA. KOSA. Age verification in US/UK/Australia. Tumblr bans. Backpage. Visa/Mastercard. ITCHIO. Patreon.

This isn’t the first canary…

The Silk Road guy gets a pardon, but the BackPage guys have been persecuted without mercy.

Who benefited from Silk Road and who benefited from BackPage?

the writing has unfortunately been on the wall since backpage. first they came for hookers because it's easy to get people worked up over "trafficking", then they started encroaching on everything else they don't like online

Sex workers are on social media because they aren't allowed to be anywhere else.

Wish yall had paid more attention to sesta/fosta and the backpage shutdown
We have to remember a big part of why sex workers are advertising on social media is because actual sites for advertising keep getting shutdown.

The backpage shutdown has a massive impact on the community.
What's a healthy way to talk about the proliferation of porn on social media and pop culture without sounding like I belong on the daily wire? Is there a space between appreciating sex work and feeling like porn is too widespread and prominent online?

I'm really not a prude. But Kanye parading his wife around naked all the time ain't on the up and up at all

Note that this strategy was test-driven in the Backpage case.
A very compelling article. The part where the prosecution tries to restrict what the defence can and can't say in court is both shocking and telling.
My wife @enbrown.bsky.social spent months working on this and boy is it a doozy

Six thousand words (yes) of eye popping detail and docuseries-worthy twists and turns.
