The government shutdown of Backpage is not just about prostitution per say. It's about human trafficking, the general lawlessness of the internet, and tie that in to the Russian fake ads/infilitration.
Facebook itself is now requiring political advertisers to verify their identities, and Facebook members with large followers will also have to verify their identities.
The new law passed by Congress makes it much easier for victims of human trafficking to sue internet companies.
Organized crime networks take people from poor countries and bring them to wealthy countries to work as prostitutes, drug dealers, and the like. So not only do you have prostitution, you have the crime of illegal immigration and with that you have certain other crimes as well.
The government doesn't care about an individual person trading sex for $$$$$$$.
Backpage allowed human traffickers/organized crime to be able to consistently get a good source of income.
Other internet companies will be cracked down on as well.

Your whole quote is 100% correct, but I have bolded the truer parts.
As a single woman, I would never have sex with any guy who doesn't commit in some way. That's gross.
I believe the women who went to sleep with the poster, were most likely high on Opioids! If other women want to cheapen themselves that way, well, it's their bodies. But a normal person wouldn't behave that way.
To use Airbnb you have to over photocopies of your passport, your social media, your phone number, your email, as well as other info. More sites are going to end up having to do this.
