STOP THE TRAFFIK sur Twitter : "#traffickingtoday - GLOBAL: Mastercard and Visa hit sex traffickers where it hurts. MasterCard and Visa sever ties with Backpage 'adult' section. MasterCard and Visa have removed themselves as payment options for the placement of advertisements in the “adult” section on the classified service website Backpage.com following a campaign by a police force in Illinois.
The move follows a request from the Cook County sheriff, Thomas Dart, who requested both credit card companies sever ties with Backpage.com via letters sent to executives on Monday.
