Just checked Craigslist and the personals are gone 😱 Back page has a bunch of phone #s , but they aren't local😕 They couldn't have done it that fast, could they??

It's going down very fast - this is what drove Reddit too - somebody notes, "lol yet /r/hookers isn't banned. Class act, reddit is. No agenda here folks!" and, then, "/r/hookers is banned. But conveniently it got banned about 10min after someone posted a gundeal on it." - apparently now stuff is getting shut down all over the internet.

Dunno, Key. I've never looked at Craigslist and have no idea what the personals or this "back page" is of which you speak. You seem quite familiar with it, though, so please be our man on the street regarding all things internet escort/prostitute related, won't you? There's a good chap.

On personals at craigslist:

US Congress just passed HR 1865, “FOSTA”, seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

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.

To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!
