Or of course consider how they went after Kim Dotcom, the effort that was put into crushing Megaupload and Kim over common media piracy.
Are we to believe that the DOJ & Co couldn't have smashed Backpage for knowingly allowing trafficking years ago? They couldn't have scooped up proof that the operators knew about that activity, a dozen different ways given the tools at their disposal? They could destroy Silk Road and get Ross Ulbricht, but they couldn't get the Backpage guys on anything? Bullshit of course, it's beyond obvious those guys knew what their site was facilitating, they were making a vast fortune off of it.
It all reeks of being allowed to continue as an enemy number one to facilitate legislation like SESTA.
