To prevent this type of censorship, while making it sticky to an
   existing site, like Craigslist, why not use a browser add-on, like
   GreaseMonkey for FF, so the classification and ad content only appear
   to users with add-on? This approach is used by price comparison
   services so, for example, if you're shopping and find it on Amazon the
   add-on overlays the page with pricing at competitive sites.
   Of course, the add-on would have provide all the add front- and
   back-end support and do so in a manner to thwart the censors.

   CEO and eventual removal of the adult section.
   “The FBI can confirm that law enforcement activity is occurring,” a
   spokesperson for the FBI’s Phoenix field office told The Verge. The
   office referred further questions to the Justice Department, which did
   not immediately respond to a request for comment.
   Last month, Congress passed controversial legislation meant to give law
   enforcement more power to stop online sex trafficking. Backpage became
   a central part of the discussion around the legislation, which many sex
   workers opposed.
