His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

That time, it found Google was using its search service to improperly promote its shopping service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fine — 4.34 billion euros, or just over $5 billion — sets a world record for such antitrust penalties, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-17/google-said-to-have-11th-hour-call-with-eu-ahead-of-android-fine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>. And if Google doesn’t change its business practices, the cost could grow even higher, with penalty payments added after 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Commission says the large fine is appropriate because of the “duration and gravity” of the antitrust violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive body says that about 80 percent of smart devices in Europe run on Android. It’s not illegal to dominate a market, the European Commission says — but companies aren’t supposed to “abuse their powerful market position by restricting competition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google licenses its Android operating system to third-party phone manufacturers. The issue, the EU says, is that Google requires Android device-makers to pre-install the Google search and browser apps on “practically all” devices sold in Europe; in the past, the company used financial incentives to further encourage pre-installation. That makes it hard for other search apps to compete, the EU says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another problem has to do with rival operating systems. Source code for the Android system is shared online, allowing third parties to modify it and create “forks,” or versions of Android not approved by Google. (Amazon’s Fire devices, for example, run a “fork” of Android.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has prohibited companies that make Android devices from making and selling any \u003cem>other\u003c/em> devices that run Android forks. That gives Google too much power over competition between different operating systems, the EU says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google forcefully objects to the ruling, calling it a rejection of Android’s entire business model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/android-has-created-more-choice-not-less/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post\u003c/a>, CEO Sundar Pichai said the decision “ignores the fact that Android phones compete with iOS phones.” (The European Commission decided that Apple products don’t adequately “constrain Google’s market power,” in part because iPhones are more expensive, and because iPhones use Google search by default anyway.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phones typically come preloaded with dozens of apps, not just Google apps, and it’s easy to remove them and add new apps instead, Pichai writes. He also says that the rules imposed by Google are meant to “ensure technical compatibility,” and that they’re optional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No phone maker is even obliged to sign up to these rules — they can use or modify Android in any way they want, just as Amazon has done with its Fire tablets and TV sticks,” Pichai writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Google makes the Android platform available for free, the company makes money off the phones only if Google apps are installed and used, Pichai says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is reminiscent of a 2009 agreement between Microsoft and the EU. The EU said that Microsoft was violating antitrust rules by selling computers with Internet Explorer as the default browser, and Microsoft agreed to offer users \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/business/2009/dec/16/eu-competition-microsoft-browser-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a choice of browsers instead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg opinion columnist Alex Webb \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-07-18/google-escapes-microsoft-levels-of-antitrust-pain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points out\u003c/a> a key difference between the two cases. This time around, there’s no requirement to promote competitors’ apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the European Commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/27/534524024/google-hit-with-2-7-billion-fine-by-european-antitrust-monitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fined Google $2.72 billion\u003c/a> for antitrust violations. That time, it found Google was using its search service to improperly promote its shopping service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fine — 4.34 billion euros, or just over $5 billion — sets a world record for such antitrust penalties, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-17/google-said-to-have-11th-hour-call-with-eu-ahead-of-android-fine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>. And if Google doesn’t change its business practices, the cost could grow even higher, with penalty payments added after 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Commission says the large fine is appropriate because of the “duration and gravity” of the antitrust violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive body says that about 80 percent of smart devices in Europe run on Android. It’s not illegal to dominate a market, the European Commission says — but companies aren’t supposed to “abuse their powerful market position by restricting competition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google licenses its Android operating system to third-party phone manufacturers. The issue, the EU says, is that Google requires Android device-makers to pre-install the Google search and browser apps on “practically all” devices sold in Europe; in the past, the company used financial incentives to further encourage pre-installation. That makes it hard for other search apps to compete, the EU says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another problem has to do with rival operating systems. Source code for the Android system is shared online, allowing third parties to modify it and create “forks,” or versions of Android not approved by Google. (Amazon’s Fire devices, for example, run a “fork” of Android.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has prohibited companies that make Android devices from making and selling any \u003cem>other\u003c/em> devices that run Android forks. That gives Google too much power over competition between different operating systems, the EU says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google forcefully objects to the ruling, calling it a rejection of Android’s entire business model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/android-has-created-more-choice-not-less/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post\u003c/a>, CEO Sundar Pichai said the decision “ignores the fact that Android phones compete with iOS phones.” (The European Commission decided that Apple products don’t adequately “constrain Google’s market power,” in part because iPhones are more expensive, and because iPhones use Google search by default anyway.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phones typically come preloaded with dozens of apps, not just Google apps, and it’s easy to remove them and add new apps instead, Pichai writes. He also says that the rules imposed by Google are meant to “ensure technical compatibility,” and that they’re optional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No phone maker is even obliged to sign up to these rules — they can use or modify Android in any way they want, just as Amazon has done with its Fire tablets and TV sticks,” Pichai writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Google makes the Android platform available for free, the company makes money off the phones only if Google apps are installed and used, Pichai says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is reminiscent of a 2009 agreement between Microsoft and the EU. The EU said that Microsoft was violating antitrust rules by selling computers with Internet Explorer as the default browser, and Microsoft agreed to offer users \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/business/2009/dec/16/eu-competition-microsoft-browser-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a choice of browsers instead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg opinion columnist Alex Webb \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-07-18/google-escapes-microsoft-levels-of-antitrust-pain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points out\u003c/a> a key difference between the two cases. This time around, there’s no requirement to promote competitors’ apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>It’s 1995, and Chris Cox is on a plane reading a newspaper. One article about a recent court decision catches his eye. This moment, in a way, ends up changing his life — and, to this day, it continues to change ours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case that caught the congressman’s attention involved some posts on a bulletin board — the early-Internet precursor to today’s social media. The ruling led to a new law, co-authored by Cox and often called simply “Section 230.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This 1996 statute became known as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/1/16072680/cda-230-stop-enabling-sex-traffickers-act-liability-shield-senate-backpage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a core pillar of Internet freedom\u003c/a>” and “\u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/09/the-law-that-gave-us-the-modern-internet-and-the-campaign-to-kill-it/279588/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the law that gave us modern Internet\u003c/a>” — a critical component of free speech online. But the journey of Section 230 runs through some of the darkest corners of the web. Most egregiously, the law has been used to defend Backpage.com, a website featuring ads for sex with children forced into prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, this law still sits at the heart of a major question about the modern Internet: \u003cem>How much responsibility do online platforms have for how their users behave or get treated? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first major change to Section 230 in years, Congress is voting this week to make Internet companies take a little more responsibility than they have for content on their sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Library or newspaper?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court decision that started it all had to do with some online posts about a company called Stratton Oakmont. On one finance-themed bulletin board, someone had accused the investment firm of fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, Stratton Oakmont’s crimes would be turned into a Hollywood film, “The Wolf of Wall Street.” But in 1994, the firm called the accusations libel and wanted to sue. But because it was the Internet, the posts were anonymous. So instead, the firm sued Prodigy, the online service that hosted the bulletin board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prodigy argued it couldn’t be responsible for a user’s post — like a library, it could not liable for what’s inside its books. Or, in now-familiar terms: It’s a platform, not a publisher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court disagreed, but for an unexpected reason: Prodigy moderated posts, cleaning up foul language. And because of that, the court treated Prodigy like a newspaper liable for its articles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Cox read about this ruling, he thought this was “exactly the wrong result”: How was this amazing new thing — the Internet — going to blossom, if companies got punished for \u003cem>trying \u003c/em>to keep things clean? “This struck me as a way to make the Internet a cesspool,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this moment, Cox was flying from his home in California to return to Congress. Back at work, Cox, a Republican, teamed up with his friend, Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, to rectify the court precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together, they produced Section 230 — perhaps the only 20-year-old statute to be claimed by Internet companies and advocates as technologically prescient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657102\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657102\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/gettyimages-74894454-ff2dbd2102b9d83f3365f569745d84ed536b9ef1-s800-c85-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Sen.

The broad leeway given to Internet companies represents “power without responsibility,” Georgetown University law professor Rebecca Tushnet wrote in an \u003ca href=\"https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1078&context=fwps_papers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oft-cited paper\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox says, “The original purpose of this law was to help clean up the Internet, not to facilitate people doing bad things on the Internet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“A Teflon shield”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original purpose hasn’t always prevailed in court. And one specific example has prompted Congress to vote to amend Section 230 — the first cutback to websites’ protections in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the case of Backpage.com, a site ostensibly for classifieds, but one well known for its adult-services ads. Among them — if you know what to look for — are sex ads featuring children forced into prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of those terms were indicative of an underage child — Lolita, fresh, new to town,” says Mary Mazzio, a filmmaker whose documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-PdMr7pTY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Am Jane Doe\u003c/a> tells the story of several young girls sold for sex on Backpage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, victims and their families brought case after case against Backpage — and lost. The website kept convincing judges across the country that Section 230 shielded it from liability for the posts of its users. Major digital-rights groups, including the Center for Democracy and Technology, argued that holding Backpage liable could have chilling effects for social media and other websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bewildered Mazzio: “How is it possibly legal that a website that makes millions and millions of dollars has no accountability for this crime?” she says. “Section 230 has turned into a Teflon shield, not to protect free speech but to protect business revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-backpage/u-s-supreme-court-will-not-examine-tech-industry-legal-shield-idUSKBN14T1OR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year declined\u003c/a> to hear victims’ appeal in the case of Backpage and Section 230.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657103\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Kubiiki P. wipes tears as she testifies at a 2017 Senate hearing, speaking about her young daughter being sold for sex on Backpage.com.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-375x249.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kubiiki P. wipes tears as she testifies at a 2017 Senate hearing, speaking about her young daughter being sold for sex on Backpage.com. \u003ccite>(Cliff Owen/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The judge-made law”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/114/crpt/srpt214/CRPT-114srpt214.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mounting evidence \u003c/a>showed that Backpage was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/backpage-has-always-claimed-it-doesnt-control-sex-related-ads-new-documents-show-otherwise/2017/07/10/b3158ef6-553c-11e7-b38e-35fd8e0c288f_story.html?utm_term=.4bc40802346a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actively involved\u003c/a> in the sex ads.

The legislation — already passed by the House and co-sponsored by a majority of the Senate — allows more state and civil lawsuits against websites related to online sex trafficking, for “knowingly assisting, supporting or facilitating” crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate is expected to pass the bill as early as Wednesday, sending it to President Trump for his signature. The White House has supported the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for the first time, after years of staunch defiance, the Internet Association came out in support of legislation to change Section 230, shocking smaller Internet companies and digital-rights groups by breaking ranks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry giants are narrowly threading the needle. After the bill passed the House, the Internet Association said the industry not only is “committed to ending trafficking online” but also “will defend against attempts to weaken these crucial protections” of Section 230.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all share the same goal,” the association’s Beckerman told NPR, “and that’s to ensure that victims are able to have justice they need, but also enable our companies to stop this practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engine, a group advocating on behalf of smaller Internet companies, argues that Silicon Valley behemoths like Google, Facebook and Twitter can handle more lawsuits and the legal uncertainty that would smother a startup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not the last challenge\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyden points out that these are the very same platforms facing massive scrutiny for being manipulated by Russian operatives during the 2016 election, making it a politically touchy moment for the companies to fight over sex-trafficking legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The big companies have a lot of egg on their face over the election, and nobody wants to be seen as being soft on sex trafficking,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyden and Cox have opposed the legislation to amend Section 230, along with groups including Engine and the Center for Democracy and Technology. Opponents of the bill say it could lead to crimes moving deeper into the dark web and to websites resorting to more censorship or ignorance of what happens on their platforms to avoid liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, author of the Senate bill, says the tech community “overreacted” to amending Section 230 “to the point that they weren’t willing to look at the obvious problem, which is that it’s been abused to sell people online.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyden says all this should be a wake-up call for Silicon Valley:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the technology companies do not wake up to their responsibilities — and use the power 230 gives them — to better protect the public against sex trafficking and countries that try to hack our political system, you bet that companies can expect (this legislation) will not be the last challenge for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR researcher Will Chase and Business Desk intern Ian Wren contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

On one finance-themed bulletin board, someone had accused the investment firm of fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, Stratton Oakmont’s crimes would be turned into a Hollywood film, “The Wolf of Wall Street.” But in 1994, the firm called the accusations libel and wanted to sue. But because it was the Internet, the posts were anonymous. So instead, the firm sued Prodigy, the online service that hosted the bulletin board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prodigy argued it couldn’t be responsible for a user’s post — like a library, it could not liable for what’s inside its books. Or, in now-familiar terms: It’s a platform, not a publisher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court disagreed, but for an unexpected reason: Prodigy moderated posts, cleaning up foul language. And because of that, the court treated Prodigy like a newspaper liable for its articles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Cox read about this ruling, he thought this was “exactly the wrong result”: How was this amazing new thing — the Internet — going to blossom, if companies got punished for \u003cem>trying \u003c/em>to keep things clean? “This struck me as a way to make the Internet a cesspool,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this moment, Cox was flying from his home in California to return to Congress. Back at work, Cox, a Republican, teamed up with his friend, Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, to rectify the court precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together, they produced Section 230 — perhaps the only 20-year-old statute to be claimed by Internet companies and advocates as technologically prescient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657102\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657102\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/gettyimages-74894454-ff2dbd2102b9d83f3365f569745d84ed536b9ef1-s800-c85-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Sen.

Among them — if you know what to look for — are sex ads featuring children forced into prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of those terms were indicative of an underage child — Lolita, fresh, new to town,” says Mary Mazzio, a filmmaker whose documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-PdMr7pTY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Am Jane Doe\u003c/a> tells the story of several young girls sold for sex on Backpage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, victims and their families brought case after case against Backpage — and lost. The website kept convincing judges across the country that Section 230 shielded it from liability for the posts of its users. Major digital-rights groups, including the Center for Democracy and Technology, argued that holding Backpage liable could have chilling effects for social media and other websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bewildered Mazzio: “How is it possibly legal that a website that makes millions and millions of dollars has no accountability for this crime?” she says. “Section 230 has turned into a Teflon shield, not to protect free speech but to protect business revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-backpage/u-s-supreme-court-will-not-examine-tech-industry-legal-shield-idUSKBN14T1OR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year declined\u003c/a> to hear victims’ appeal in the case of Backpage and Section 230.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657103\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Kubiiki P. wipes tears as she testifies at a 2017 Senate hearing, speaking about her young daughter being sold for sex on Backpage.com.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-375x249.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/ap_17010723014058_custom-c331d1a425fbd4ea23a10bdbe84b51e9c2f3689a-s800-c85-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kubiiki P. wipes tears as she testifies at a 2017 Senate hearing, speaking about her young daughter being sold for sex on Backpage.com. \u003ccite>(Cliff Owen/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The judge-made law”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/114/crpt/srpt214/CRPT-114srpt214.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mounting evidence \u003c/a>showed that Backpage was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/backpage-has-always-claimed-it-doesnt-control-sex-related-ads-new-documents-show-otherwise/2017/07/10/b3158ef6-553c-11e7-b38e-35fd8e0c288f_story.html?utm_term=.4bc40802346a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actively involved\u003c/a> in the sex ads.
