Backpage.com and child sex trafficing

Advertising revenue is the main source of revenue for many of the tech giants, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Google etc. While the companies are filling their coffers they have not paid enough attention to the ethical side of their business with their supposed strong belief in first amendment.

It is as well they put backpage.com out of business and sent its boss to the jail. Backpage.com made tons of money trafficking child sex and of course paid these advertising companies their cut.  It's not only backpage.com that is at fault but also the big tech giants.

Here is an excerpt from Change.org,

"Two special interest groups, the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) — funded by tech industry giants Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and others — actually intervened to file briefs supporting Backpage.  These tech groups were actually defending Backpage’s right to host ads selling children.  Amazingly, the CDT and EFF have also jumped into other Backpage cases around the country filed by children.
Support of Backpage by the tech industry has not wavered, even though a 21-month Senate investigation revealed that Backpage facilitated the crimes by coaching pimps on how to post ads to evade law enforcement"

How much effort should it take for these companies with deep pockets to find out backpage.com's intentions?

Here is a video of his sentencing:
