What is a Front-Page?

The front page of a newspaper typically contains the most important news stories of the day in the country or region it is circulated in. It may also tease other interesting stories contained within the edition. The term front-page is also used to refer to the top articles of a website, such as Reddit’s Front Page.

Backpage was the subject of a federal investigation by the FBI and Department of Justice, with analytical assistance from the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, into allegations that it knowingly allowed and encouraged users to post ads relating to prostitution and human trafficking, particularly of minors. The company argued that these actions were protected by CDA Section 230, which applies to websites that act as traditional publishers of third-party content.
