Before a controversial law bill making websites liable for supporting sex trafficking has even been signed into law by President Trump, US authorities have taken the sort of legal action the pending legislation is intended to enable.

On Friday, the US Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service, with the assistance of the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, seized control of Backpage's backpage.com, a website with a longstanding reputation for serving a variety of sex-related classified ads, many involving minors.
