Backpage isn't a "pimp". Backpage lets sex workers work independently without pimps. #sexwork

Yes, Backpage derives income from sex work. So do hotel chains, phone companies, and condom manufacturers.

Backpage wins again. This is good news for ad sites, and bad news for those trying to shut them down. #sexwork https://t.co/SOulGAtjOC

News on Backpage and credit cards: Top appeals judge Posner lays into Tom Dart's crusade #sexwork #chargeisdeclined https://t.co/IXggAMcWJQ

The audio of the Backpage hearing is really worth listening to from 18mins on, when Dart's lawyer gets eviscerated. https://t.co/H793ckcNyz

A big shout out to @TomDart, for making Backpage free to all. File under "unintended consequences" … along with all other #sexwork laws.

Federal judge finds Backpage can't be sued. Trafficking is terrible, but adult freedom of speech shouldn't suffer. https://t.co/f4VJ8fq17J

The case against Backpage is slippery and misleading in the extreme. The vast majority of #sexwork isn't #trafficking http://t.co/V06Rpowegk

Cutting off Backpage because of "maybe trafficking" is as disproportionate as cutting off eBay because "maybe stolen".
