Lies, Panic, And Politics: The Targeted Takedown Of #Backpage - https://www.techdirt.com/2024/11/12/lies-panic-and-politics-the-targeted-takedown-of-backpage/ "The case against Backpage was built on lies, innuendo, and a willful misunderstanding of how the internet works. But that didn’t stop the government from destroying the company and its founders’ lives."

"Judge Reschedules Lacey/Larkin Retrial as Federal Prosecutors Court Another Mistrial" #Backpage #FirstAmendment #freespeech

Before the DC appeals court, the federal government claimed FOSTA was practically the same as the Travel Act, invoking Backpage numerous times as its bête noire, claiming both are aiding and abetting statutes.
But in the Arizona District Court, our Janus-faced DOJ claims Backpage's former owners, Lacey and Larkin, should be held to a *broader* standard than aid and abet under the Travel Act.
Such shenanigans offer plain evidence of why no one with a lick of sense believes anything the federal government says. Nor should they. #freespeech #firstamendment #Backpage
@susannagranieri Have you ever written about the #Backpage case? The feds seized and destroyed an international website full of 100% legal, Constitutionally-protected speech, with far-reaching implications and a chilling effect that has hindered law enforcement's ability to rescue trafficked women and children. Moreover, the DOJ knows that adult advertising is protected by 1A, and that there's a lot of sex work that is perfectly legal. Please see: https://reason.com/2019/08/26/secret-memos-show-the-government-has-been-lying-about-backpage/
Prosecutors want to hold Lacey and Larkin vicariously liable for criminal acts allegedly linked to classified ads for massage, escorts, dating, etc. that were posted to the site by its users. Courts have found the content of such ads to be legal, presumptively protected by the First Amendment, but the feds have a hard-on for Lacey and Larkin, largely because they defied calls to shut down the site. Easily the best introduction to this case is an award-winning 38-minute documentary by Reason magazine. #Reason #FirstAmendment #freespeech #Section230 #Backpage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPchvgMsjl8
For those with an interest in free speech online (and off), I give you the most recent news from the prosecution of journalists/publishers Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin, the former owners of Backpage.com, whose trial in federal court ended in a mistrial 9/2021 due to prosecutorial misconduct. A retrial is scheduled to begin 6/20/2023. #FirstAmendment #Section 230
