2010’s Human Trafficking Zeros:

Change.org is one of the leading anti-human trafficking activist websites. For the end of the year, they decided to name their biggest Zeroes of 2010 as far as it came to human trafficking. Not surprisingly Village Voice Media and their classifieds site backpage.com were #2 on the zero list…

Village Voice Media: While Craigslist spent 2010 shutting down their adult services ads in the U.S. and eventually overseas, Village Voice Media chose to thumb their noses at anti-trafficking activists and watch child sex trafficking continue on their classified ads site, Backpage.com. Village Voice Media continues to profit from sex trafficking, ignore requests to stop advertising for the crime, and block attempts of victims sold on Backpage.com to seek justice. Facilitating child sex trafficking in 2010 makes Village Voice Media a big Zero.

You know you’re pretty bad when the only people who beat you were the government of an entire country that forces 9-year-olds to work the cotton fields.
