BonePage: Safer Sex Ads Alternative to Backpage
BonePage: safer sex ads alternative to Backpage. Don’t get stung! Backpage was a sex classified ads website that was primarily used by escorts and those in the sex industry. The website was shut down by the FBI in 2018 after many years of controversy and legal challenges.
Backpage was known for being a platform that facilitated prostitution and human trafficking. Unfortunately, Backpage became a hub for sex traffickers and criminals to advertise the sale of women and children for sex. Keep reading to the bottom to see how BonePage provides safer sex ads alternative to Backpage and similar escort sites.
Sting Operations Targeting Escort Customers
The closure of Backpage led to a significant shift in the sex trade industry in the United States. However, it also raised several important issues related to law enforcement sting operations targeting customers of escorts. One of the primary problems with these types of sting operations is that they often involve entrapment. This is where law enforcement officers induce or persuade an individual to commit a crime that they might not have committed otherwise. These sting operations can include creating fake escort ads, fake profiles. They then use these ads and profiles to send text messages or emails to potential customers.
Entrapment and False Arrests
This type of entrapment can be harmful and can lead to false arrests and convictions. You may be innocent and you may even prove your innocence in a court of law but the damage is already done. How do you explain this type of arrest to your spouse, family members, coworkers and friends? To make things worse, law enforcement frequently seeks to make an example of Johns arrested during sting operations, publishing photos and names of those arrested in their local newspapers.
These sting operations often target individuals who are not actually engaged in illegal activity. Many people who are arrested in these operations are simply looking for consensual sexual encounters with adults. These individuals may not have any intention of engaging in illegal activity, but they are still arrested and charged with crimes. This can lead to significant legal problems and can have a lasting impact on a person’s life, even if found not guilty.
Targeting Marginalized Communities
Need we even mention that these operations often disproportionately target marginalized communities? These include people of color and the LGBTQ community. This can lead to further discrimination and perpetuates the harmful stereotypes that these communities face.
Failure to Address The Real Problems
Furthermore, these sting operations often do not address the root causes of the sex trade industry, such as poverty, lack of education and job opportunities, and a lack of support services for survivors of trafficking. Instead, they focus on criminalizing the demand for commercial sex, which has been shown to be ineffective in reducing the number of people involved in the sex trade.
