Joseph commented on the petition |While the village voice is making millions on this crime, they are not alone. This has been an issue for over 10 years with internet marketing of the exploitation of children.
In fact, in 1996 the US Government introduced a law that would have protected children from these types of crimes. Bt the time it passed through both the house of representatives and congress, the law no longer provided protection to the children. Instead it provided civil and criminal immunity to the online companies that engage in this crime. Since 1996 companies are not held liable for their involvement in crimes like prostitution or sexual exploitation of women and children.
Asking or demanding backpage.com remove sex ads from their site will do little or nothing in regards to ending this crime. The village voice or another of the hundreds of companies out there will just begin posting these ads under other names and URLs.
The only way to end this crime and expose these criminals is to demand that congress amend the law that granted protection to these companies in the first place.

Joseph commented on the petition |Companies like this is what gives Corporate America a bad name. They will not be happy until every American making less 6 figures no longer has a social/personal life. Taking a national holiday from it's employees over the opportunity of a greedy start on Black Friday is an outrage. Regardless if you are a retail employee or not, we need to stand together as Americans, as a society.
United we stand, divided we fall!
