To use my grocery store analogy its like if one box of cheerios was bad closing down every single grocery store in the country to prevent people from eating bad cheerios then passing a law saying the govt can shut down any grocery it wants in the future on suspicion of bad cheerios....
Not false. Backpage was taken down on April 6th [1][2] while SESTA wasn't signed until April 11th [3][4]. It's okay to oppose SESTA, but that's not what this is about.
Im saying your anology was false because NUMEROUS other sites have been taken down recently beyond just backpage in the name of 'stopping human trafficking'.
It's like backdooring encryption to 'prevent terrorism'.
