I think the short answer is that backpage.com possibly was protected by Section 230, but federal and state prosecutors kept on harassing them with a barrage of new lawsuits and charges until they found a court willing to say it wasn't protected, and the people running it just gave in and pled guilty in the end. With the site shut down and no end in sight they just didn't have the resources to fight it. |
