IAC is very much into online dating sites: http://iac.com/about/overview

Are all "love matches" truly between consenting adults, I wonder, or could there be a hidden market here giving pedophiles yet another way to access children? Is the company plane part of the merchandise delivery system?

The Backpage. Was in small blip of news. A mother had found out her daughter was taken, advertised on Backpage and raped many times. The lawsuit got strange as huge corporate backers joined with Backpage, are funders! Mother says that kidnapped minors are posted on Backpage as escorts.

Fortunately, federal legislation has been introduced to help deal with Backpage and others like it: https://www.stl.news/2017/08/01/mccaskill-bipartisan-group-introduce-legislation-against-sex-trafficking/

From the linked article:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. August 1, 2017 (STL.NEWS) – U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today helped lead a bipartisan group of colleagues to introduce legislation to ensure justice for victims of sex trafficking and ensure that websites such as Backpage.com, which knowingly facilitate sex trafficking, can be held liable and brought to justice."
