  The war on Backpage is what happens when the moral right and moral left find common ground. It's demagoguery butchering a scapegoat. It's ignorant grandstanding that will exacerbate the very problem its proponents claim to fight, causing heaps of collateral damage along the way.

  “http://backpage.com/... has been seized as part of an enforcement action by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division.” That's a motley crew?? Stay strong. http://www.buzzfeed.com/...

  To sum up: it appears that http://Backpage.com , the domain - not necessarily the server on which its content is stored, or its user data - has been seized. This usually precedes a FBI/HSI raid on a physical location to obtain records.
