    So with that logic, The Silk Road shouldn’t have been shut down because they weren’t even manufacturing it.

      You’re right about that. The market place is not at fault. The people who sold/purchased the goods should be the ones in trouble. I guess it’s easier for them to go after a single entity rather than everyone who broke the law.

        In my opinion, if a marketplace allows something to be bought or sold on their platform, then they are inherently supporting and responsible for it.
