A classified ad website that many have accused of promoting sex trafficking and prostitution has been seized by the U.S. federal government.

Backpage.com was taken down Friday afternoon, and visitors to the website will see a message that says, "backpage.com and affiliated websites have 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."

More information is expected to be unveiled at 6 p.m. Eastern time, the message said.


2nd largest ad site in America taken down by feds

True but are business expenses allowed to offset the income?
