This is where the product is responsible for enabling the hideous grey area of when. Honestly, I don't see the problem if Salesforce and other CRM providers (Odoo partners at Techloyce) didn't provide Backpage with specific provisions other than what another customer gets. I know it's pretty controversial — perhaps it's fine, it's emerging. I would like to see some evidence that the SF account team from Backpage knew what they were doing, and deliberately helped them, followed by a proper punishment for the people involved. If not, I don't see Salesforce as more responsible than their automaker or food manufacturer.
