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!

That has the potential to shut down all dating sites. Or at least make them more expensive, if every post has to be reviewed.

Where’s the police going to run their sting operations? I’ve got a former co-worker whose wife died a couple of years ago. He got desperate and answered an add for a prostitute. The police then introduced underage prostitutes. And he didn’t have the sense to run. He’s now charged with child trafficking and they have completely upended his life.

“Jenny, Jenny, she’s the girl for you.”

867-5309.

I wonder what this new law portends for Reddit?

This will be like whack-a-mole.

They’ll just start listing under “pizza” or something until that gets stamped out, then on to the next euphemism.

A year after my mom passed away my 81 year old clueless father decided he would look on craigslist personal. We warned him to stay away from it but he thought he was so much smarter. After a young lady sent naked pictures did he realize he wasn’t so smart.

I like the ones with really specific requirements. Like ‘tall’ ‘40 or younger’ ‘muscular’ ‘good job’ etc etc etc. But list absolutely NOTHING about the poster.

So, yes, you must be perfect. But I’m such a mess I won’t even post my height, weight or age.

Yes, entertainment lost....
