They can push 20 yrs on these guys but when a guy owns an island that actively, knowingly traffics women they hide the list of members. Think about that for a minute.
Underage women no less.
@@michaelchisholm5108 AKA little girls!
And one of them out front and center at the DNC like some kind of hero and celebrity.
Wrong set of names.
@@terrygrant9140 they probably just don't want their mossad handlers to cry. bless 'em hearts... 🤡👌
Should we arrest Verizon because Crimes are commited over the phone?
Yes their service is terrible in our town.
Well Verizon turns over those phone calls to the government upon request. They work with them to help catch the criminals. 😂
only if they stop cooperating with the matrix

@savagemadness77 got em
This is horrific for free speech
How is pr*stitution and pimping free speech?
lol. That was the plan
Promoting prostitution is illegal.
@@terrymckenzie8786 Which they didn't do. They ran a platform, and some users on that platform promoted prostitution.
@@terrymckenzie8786 Go back to the beginning and watch the video again.
By what I'm hearing about this, the government should put themselves in jail for allowing drugs and child trafficking across the border......oh wait.
BINGO!!
What about the govt smuggling and distributing children throughout the US.
Ha
This is just a pretext to set the stage to go after Facebook and X... and eventually everyone who doesn't do what Big Brother says.
Exactly correct
In a police state, everyone has "committed" crimes, but who gets prosecuted depends on who is in charge and who opposes them.
Well everyone is next if Harris gets in, except for her pals
But, X and Facebook are big brother's platforms, Musk is a CIA plant, his Dad is one of them: are you not aware that the elimination of your God given rights is their goal, those NOT responsible for the actions of others are now being accused and are claimed to be the guilty is the farce,...this is what is behind this slippery slope
Sounds good to me!
Why not go after those who perpetrate the crime of prostitution? Such are politicians, professional athletes, judges, and actors. OH! I apologize. Those are escorts.😂😂😂
Surely you jest.
😂😂😂
Why are you defending a company that advertises for escorts, aka prostitutes? Are Conservatives all depraved? That said, Feds should also go after the escorts and customers who used Backpage.
You mean politicians like Eliot Spitzer who was neither put in jail nor punished in anyway for patronizing a prostitution ring according to the law that he approved? The hypocrisy smells worse than a rotting animal carcass.
You mean politicians like Eliot Spitzer?
A Federal government that prosecutes people for facilitating the Vice President's former profession. What a Country!
U mean the profession of the women in ur life? Got it
@@Elena-rt9yu Yo Momma too! Oh, snap!
This comes from the same government still hiding the epstein files
You mean Epstein’s wingman Trump
@@Elena-rt9yu Makes no sense what you said. Try again
The fact that they reported criminal behavior. See something say something. Shows the real motivation,it's not about crime it's about speech
Exactly.
When it comes to Epstein and his clients, who are on the famous list that no one "knows about", the silence is such that it demonstrates that they are not concerned about crime... are they the criminals? It seems to me that governments are made up of criminals!
It does make you wonder how and where the conviction took place, can it be appealed, can political motivation be proven? I doubt this is the last we hear from this.
Congress needs platforms that won't report their crimes. They have no use for these people.
@@empoweryou1 What happens next is an obvious question, but it's typical of these hosts to not ask it.
the lesson here? do NOT cooperate with the government.
More and more apparent with each passing day and event
Never
This is not a government of the people, and this government is not your friend. This government is a group of several hundred thousand people who expect you to shut up, keep your head down and not complain when they confiscate your money to finance their lifestyle.
Should be thrown out on appeal!!! This is like putting Verizon executives in jail for drug deals being done on a phone!!!
No. Its nothing like that.
Its more a carrier delivering drugs to a buyer. Yeah, they get busted.
Like France is trying to do with Telegram founder.
@@memememe843bust Biden for killings in Sudan
@@davidcollin1436
No. Nothing like that.
These terrible comparisons are not helping.
This video did a bad job.
Trying get clicks by connecting it to musk.
The guest was one sided too, and not only didn’t get any challenging questions, they were spoon fed softballs.
Back was little more than digital pimps. It was the center of their business.
They played along w law enforcement without stopping it as they easily could have. They facilitated trafficking and exploitation.
People keep voting dems to save democracy lol a bunch of sheep 🐑
I can say that about both major parties. You won't save "Democracy" or "Make America Great" by voting blue or red. You will just cement the oligarchy/kleptocracy and/or give religious loons power.
@@dystopia-usawrong. Voting Republican will positively impact many issues. Theres a huge difference in what the two parties believe right now that will absolutely impact things like free speech. The democrats are vested in capturing political power at all costs and they have zero regard for free speech.
Or repubs. Yep. Sheep. Great system mate. Lol .
Uniparty is in complete control
@@dystopia-usaThis is 100% true. But, at least one side is aligned with anti-establishment allies.
Should the local newspapers get hit too? I’ve seen these ads my entire life, they used to print classifieds with adult ads and they would be free next to the bus.
It all depends on who you are. What you described above is OK. The government gets to say, "Sorry, we can't be everywhere at once," but if a regular Joe has a website, he's supposed to spend 24/7 on the site as the internet police or hire an army of moderators (22 year olds straight out of college that can't find a job) to do it.
Tim Cook needs to be locked up since criminals use iPhones to communicate
Well that depends, has Cook made donations to the democrat party? If so then I'm sure whatever he's done is fine.
So do politicians… Oh, wait 😨
And everyone using an iPhone is complicit
How about McDonald ? Criminals eat there before commit crimes.
There are "Streetwalkers" all over Los Angeles, Seattle, etc. Under this standard, shouldn't the city governments be held liable for supplying the streets to the "Walkers"?
Hmm musk starts hanging out with trump and talking about free speech and now they want him to go bye bye. What a shock. What a great democracy we have….
Just as Tulsi Gabbard changed political party's, and endorsed Trump. Suddenly, the federal govt put her on the terror watch list. Pure govt harassment.
Precisely correct!
Counter Revolutionary Musk no longer has Allowed Thinking
It's a Republic not a democracy. When will people get this right. Take a history course and get informed please😂😂😂
USA is not a democracy. Democracy is what Biden and his handlers want. A Republic is what our Founding Fathers gave us. So sad none of you who are pro Democracy can't see the distinction.
So, is eBay responsible for facilitating the sale of stolen goods? Is Amazon responsible for facilitating the sale of fake / counterfeit goods, or unsafe products? Seems like a slippery slope. Seems more reasonable that a legal framework should be created for online services to monitor and handle such activity, but it's going too far to hold the companies directly accountable, or their executives directly accountable. Think about how many crimes are arranged using communication technology like mobile phone service. Are the phone companies responsibly for any crimes that are facilitated by communicating through their services?
I do feel that Amazon is responsible for the sale of counterfeit products on their platform. However only in the civil sense not the criminally.
Well said!
This is like charging the parents when a child does a school shooting. What ever happened to the idea that the person who commits a crime is the one who answers to justice?
They want to freaking blackmail company’s with the threat of crimes
It's this exactly. They can selectively prosecute these kinds of things against political rivals.
make them self-censor
I'll never understand why the government thinks it should place itself in between one adult giving another adult money in exchange for physical intimacy.
Only because they can not collect on earned income taxes.....
The gov wants the monopoly of doing the 'skewering' )))
@MartenKrueger-sx4me Yes! You are so right! That's why they have Red Light Districts in Europe: they claim it's too protect the prostitutes but it's for the governments to collect their taxes.
Well, organized crime is deep within the "legalized" prostitution industry. The Red Light District girls in Amsterdam are often trafficked. And have been for a very long time.
What about only fans
They had too many clients who were democrats to charge them😁.
@@averydaymond1560They are not they same 😂😂
I think I just read OnlyFans is getting shut down...?
This is just like the law where people can sue gun manufacturers for a gun user's actions. Utterly ridiculous and a deflection from the real crime.
What ever judge who decided this is the actual criminal.
No doubt a D.C. judge. Such judges are disconnected to reality and incredibly ignorant.
It’s nice watching the video where Jessica isn’t talking too much
I guess you prefer male (Robby?) voices.
she's only good wen she's not talking. 🤣
Most people on here find Jessica and her voice very annoying. So you assume they all must like male voices? That's probably the stupidest attempt at an insult I've ever seen.
@@Ciriousglitch I didn’t say anything about her voice. I said that it’s nice to hear her not talk so much. Because most of the time when she’s talking her arguing against Robbie, she doesn’t sound intelligent and doesn’t push back as well as Bri did
@@Ciriousglitchif you like men just say that. No one is shaming anyone here for their preference
A test case for censorship
free speech under attack world wide, in the UK they are sending people to prison for hate speech and have bandied about the idea of extraditing Americans for disinformation,
Your political opponents can advertise on your site and then close your site for their own actions.
I'm in favor of free speech.I don't think I can vote for kamala, harris
You should not do that. We can't
RIP Craigslist personals. Also illegally taken down by the government. Bigtime overreach. Stay the fook out of adults bedrooms.
Jessica just chomping at the bit for the government to take out Musk and X.
It's rough for her on twitter since the takeover, hehe
@@milztempelrowski9281 the left doesn’t understand that if you fight with anyone on twitter the algrithm will give you more tweets that you disagree with.
Her authorization slant shining through:
"Give it to me daddy government, yeah!"
Musk is literally propped up by government
Her and Krystal Ball.
Jessica fits perfectly......on THE VIEW.
Ouch!😂
Dear The Hill,
Jessica BLOWS. Ditch her.
Sounds like she needs some Venezuelan gang Neighbors. That old adage, “what goes around comes around” exist for a reason.
She was actually quite good here------Maybe it had something to do with her saying very little.
This channel should be renamed the Shill
@@Bossplaier-px1ic LOL
How can companies and hotels be expected to do the job of police
Won't watch anything with Jessica.
Lose her.
Fr never thought I'd miss Bri
Bye Felicia 😂😂😂😂😂
Funny you think they care what you think 🤔🤔😂😂😂
@MikeJones1995-z6q Funnier that you dismiss viewers when this show wouldn’t exist at all if people don’t watch it. What foolishness.
Mike Jagger sang a song about stone cold poochy.
It’s almost like giving government power backfired. Who would have thought (anyone who read a history book)
You have never read a book in your life.

We gave them an inch and they took 10,000 miles
We never gave it to them. They just took it, and we watched....respectfully of course.
These companies never should have helped government at all. "We want to be regulated."
...Zuckerberg's Meta/FB stocks price almost doubled during the pandemic because most people on Social Media during then. His foundations donated nearly $400 million in the 2020 election. In return, the lockdown helped his wealth to double. Pretty good on the investment of $400 mil to return $50 billion.
He was NOT "pressured". He knew the potential and cooperated willingly.
Those companies, google, meta, and twitter were trying their best to get democrats elected.
Politicians who pass laws that are later abused should be sent to prison, because everyone knows that their laws have loopholes and technicalities that allow guilty people to go free.
This Jessica woman sounds like she would read Huxley and relate to the world state in Brave new world lol
Make sense, creepy!
Better start believing in anarchotyrannical autocratic technological dystopias - you're living in one!
@@jayron02001aldous huxley wrote a book called brave new world. In it, the govt closely resembles our current govt, and more so each day, it seems.
@@dangrimes6200 The question was... why does creepy believe that Jessicas would "relate" to that government.
@@jayron02001 because she supports censorship (when done by her party), supports govt intervention in business, personal lives, and families, and is more scared of orange man and musk than she is of the warhawk neocons running our govt/mil ind complex
This is NOT RIGHT! Why would the feds prosecute people FOR COOPERATING but a motel that has a sign out front advertising rooms for rent by the hour gets a pass?
Do you really want to know?
Jessica has to go 👉
Bring back Brianna Joy 👉
While I do generally agree with you that Jessica is more problematic than insightful, in this case what exactly has she done wrong? X and TiK Tok are the largest platforms, her question is absolutely valid.
@@scarletbegonias2359she ain’t the brightest bulb in the box.. get someone intelligent
@Dogatemyhomework927 she seemed pretty up to speed on this topic, I dont think you know what you are talking about.
Jessica is awesome!
The people pulling such nonsense have names. Just saying.
And families with addresses
Hey Jess deeded over your real estate to the local Indian tribe yet to kickstart decolonization ?
You can do that too!😂
Yes let’s petition her 😂
@@vickirich The feds tried to get mine, but they lost in court
@@vickirichThose that believe should lead by example.
@@vickirichso can you are you going to?
Using that logic: we should shutdown the entire Internet and all forms of publication. People should not be allowed to communicate anything that anyone objects to.
don't give them ideas
@@MadsterV , perhaps we should give them a choice: punish the media or punish the individual who actually commits the harmful act. We just need a fool proof way to identify those who are responsible for the harmful content and a way of reporting suspected harmful content to an automated system for initiating corrective action.
O
If the Left has their way....then yes.
@@jameseverett4976 , rather than criticize why not recommend a solution. Thank you.
WHY THEY MESSING WITH BACK PAGES. THEY NOT BOTHERING NOBODY. ITS A PUBLIC SERVICE!!!!
To show us that they can do whatever they want, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Prostitution is completely legal. You just have to film it.
This is a easy way for the government to do a hit job on any platform .
Jess, when a hotel reports Prostitution they don’t also close their hotel down
Imagine calling yourself a liberal and then trying to carry water for this 💩
By this logic the feds should go after the states who own the rest stops where all sorts of elicit activity is widely known to occur. Seems the people who do the actual crimes have become an afterthought in this whole area of "crime fighting."
To say nothing of government housing projects.
I think a large part of the problem is that people are desperate to virtue signal. The intent isn't to actually solve any problems, but to virtue signal. And how does it one virtue signal? By making a show of pursuing "villains". So they pursue as many "villains" as possible to score as many virtue points as possible. And that means you need to have as many "villains" as possible. At that means villifying as many people and entities as possible whether they have anything to do with it or any rational culpability at all.
I see a lot of anti Project 2025 signs. Not sure why, pretty much nobody knows what Project 2025 is. Oh but they are so virtuous opposing that.
The biggest areas for this kind of behavior has to be the dating websites, but nobody’s talking about them
Excellent guest and discussion. TY
They’re going after the intermediaries because the intermediaries have money to take they’re stealing. That’s what they do.
What about the fraud and money laundering? Weren’t there other charges?
sentenced to 5 years and **$3M** fine. Yeah, sounds like you're right. Thanks.
They have something that is not fluid. It is easy to steal from because it is fixed. It does not look good to arrest the women. The other looks better until they need to find lodging.
The intermediaries are PIMPS.
@@francikeen I am guessing you didn’t watch the report
The electric company provides the electricity to charge phones and computers that were used in a crime. The government provided the streets and highways used in crimes. The internet service providers provided the internet. They all need to be charged also.
Protect Musk at all costs!!
Well, if Kamala is elected, South Africa seems like an option for him
@@gdiwolverinemale4thsend him back.
At least he isn't traveling to Europe even though he has a gigafactory in Germany. No need to be detained at a fuel stop.
Why? He's a CIA asset..
still havent seen the epstein list
Jessica has got to go.
Love her!
Children need to be protected from this type of speech in print, on all social platforms.
Adults are on their own.
MAKE GOOD CHOICES!!!
You can't protect children from this anymore; this is the world we live in. The only way to protect them is to outlaw it, and that's never going to happen.
That's the parents job.
@@DingoHammernot in the authoritarian world they are building
Backpage wasn't kicking the right amount up to the right people at the right time.
This is not all that shocking. It was full of prostitutes.. that being said just because they're on there doesn't make it the companies intent. Just like telegram being used by dealers. It was a privacy focused messenger app that people used for that purpose
What about the presstitues!!!
OnlyFans?
The FBI should know crimes are being committed every where in the USA, the country they are charged with stopping this crimes. Should they be charged for letting it happen?
😂🤣😂🤣 FBI investigating...🤣😂🤣
Who are these idiot jurors that convict these people?
These federal crimes are prosecuted in D.C.
Justice Alito once made a similarity between the laws that were written high up on Roman columns. They weren't written high up for all to see but written to obscure in plain sight. We now have so many laws in plain sight obscurity that anyone can be convicted of a crime at the whim of the state. That is unless you do nothing, say nothing and yield to authority. Then, you most likely will be safe-ish.
Lawfare is now the federal government's favorite form of justice? What an absurd case and an abominable judgement.
18+ Prostitution should be legal and women should have the ability to do what they want with their bodies.
hah love your name
Agreed
Most men agree, but jealous women and extreme religious groups will never let it happen.
It should never be legal. Once you bring bad things into society society falls. Did you not learn anything from where they decriminalize stealing things under $1,000 and a criminalizing drugs? Those cities are falling
@@kelliott7864It's not jealous women There's something wrong with you. No it doesn't matter if some men agree. It doesn't mean that it is okay. It's not about religion either it's about morals and it's about having a society built on something other than our feelings.
Will rope companies that have been in operation since the early 1900s owe blacks reparations?
So this would include Only Fans too, right?
“When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is doomed.” Ayn Rand
Remember every time when Robbie talked with glee about how the speech was protected in US unlike elsewhere, section 230 etc , now only days later after the Durov case you have folks already sentenced in US , rule of law has always been a charade
Over and over, we are seeing people who do what is right being punished. This is truly evil.
It seems like they only hired Jessica for her looks because there doesn't seem to be anything going on upstairs other than the usual trite far left propaganda talking points...
Please, she is not far left. Identarian politics is not the far left. These people are closer to fascists than the far left.
@@MCairnsRa Maybe communist Marxists, maybe fascists... since the extremes touch. Crushing the people is the purpose of these tactics, because I don't call it ideology but tactics, to have power over people.
@@MCairnsRa Identity politics is pure left. Democrats push it all the time. You don't see Republicans pushing it.
She doesn't have anything good going on with her looks either as far as I can tell
IF POLICE CAN'T STOP CRIMINALS IN REAL TIME WITH ALL THEIR DATABASES & RESOURCES HOW WOULD A WEBSITE?
Zuckerberg sure won’t be charged
Only on his master card
He will never be charged.
Prostitution needs to be legalized.
This is by far the worst generation, timeline, and society. This is not the America I was taught about.
Sad but true
This is like 7-11 being robbed and the stock holders of 7-11 being prosecuted for allowing the robbery to take place.
Yep. Kind of like someone who gives false information to their tax accountant in order to cheat, and then the FBI goes after the accountant.
Zuckerbot knows there will be another sheriff in town.
When the government goes after an intermediary what they're saying is that they are powerless to stop the actual crime.
Powerless????
No, absolutely unwilling!!!
Paper manufacturers should be held accountable for all the scams and crimes committed using paper!
Sounds about right to me.

What this prosecution does could be considered witness tampering.
Hunter's favorite website
There are "Streetwalkers" all over Los Angeles, Seattle, etc. Under this standard, shouldn't the city governments be held liable for supplying the streets to the "Walkers"?
Jessica knows because she makes her side cash out of a Walmart parking lot.
Throw Harris in jail. Enjoyable episode when Jessica speaks less, as in this one.
Does this mean. They will go after mayors for letting this happen on the street
Quick question.... do these criminals use American Dollars or Euros?
Is the United States responsible for those crimes?
Backpage v X ...LOL you're comparing apples and oranges. Feels more like click bait than a serious question.
The answer to her ridiculous question shoulda been: No because it would be so incredibly obvious it would be political targeting since the govt did NOT go after the previous twitter owners nor Facebook ownership.
have you been on twitter??
Agreed, imagine if 90% of the traffic of X was prostitution solicitation, then it would be comparable.
Perhaps it's not a good comparison, but don't think for a second that the government won't use any excuse it can gin up to go after Musk. He is, after all, disident #2 on the watch list.
On the morning of 9-11 FBI officers were outside watching a suspected prostitution site in New Orleans.
Time to return to 'speak-easys' and boycott all internet platforms.
Wonder who they quit paying off?
Also think about the post office.... When someone commits a crime using postal facilities, he is punished for "mail fraud", NOT the post office..... Everything is upside down, in 2024.
It's no different from putting a personal ad in the classifieds of a newspaper.
I'm OK with CEO's being held criminally responsible for their actions, but the baseline should be to hold ALL CEO's criminally responsible, but that's not what happens. Instead, selective prosecution is employed... How many pharmaceutical CEO's have been criminally prosecuted for the damage their products have wrought on Americans?
Excellent reporting, great story.
Get rid of Jessica. Bring back KIM! And apologize when you do

Jessica was successful in moving away from the real issue : why was her candidate to become prez. the lead in a case against free speech?
