Craigslist Shut Down Personal Ads After Sex Trafficking Bill Passes
< >
Personal advertisements on Craigslist have been shut down following the passing of an anti-sex trafficking bill.
Craigslist announced the changes in an update on their website.
“US Congress just passed HR 1865, ‘FOSTA’, seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully,” explained Craigslist. “Any tool or service can be misused. We can’t take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline.”
“Hopefully we can bring them back some day,” the website continued, adding, “To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!”
