Craigslist has yanked its personal ads section in the wake of an anti-online sex trafficking bill that passed in Congress this week.
The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or FOSTA, makes websites criminally liable for content that its users post, including prostitution ads and sex-trafficking content.
Craigslist — whose personals include bawdy categories such as casual encounters — said it pulled ads because it wasn’t worth running afoul of the new law.
“Any tool or service can be misused,” the website said in a statement. “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.”
It added, “To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!”

NEVER! NOT EVEN WITH YOURS!........................
You’ll just have to meet the old fashioned way - in the bathroom at a downtown bus station...
Stormy Daniels’ little greedy heart is breaking...
Or Junior Samples.
Couldn’t this law also be applied to any dating site or hookup app?
Sounds like one of their 'looking for Apartment' ads...
That’s my take......EHarmony, et al.......................
I guess she’ll have to stand on the street corner in her fishnets and six inch heels like in the old days.................

Junior’s missing a number there, but I still recall most of the names of our local exchanges - e.g., Federal,Central, Parkway and such.
TV and movies used to use legit phone numbers until about the mid-70s when they changed it using the fake 555 prefix.
Here’s their message if you go to their site:
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’s my take......EHarmony, et al”

Yeah, I wonder how that’s gonna shake out, along with all the “swipe” hookup apps.
There are legit, honest match-making sites, so this could affect even well-intentioned people.
our culture is evil...
I hope he wasn't expecting naked pictures of another 81 year old...............
One of my daughters who is on a online dating service says she gets proposals to make lots of money all the time. She showed me one that said something like, “hey want to make lots $$$ sexy?” She reports these guys but they don’t get removed.
Looks as if they kept the “Missed Connections” section, it’s in the “Community” section.
Is that you, Jenny?
Same here in out of the way Syracuse, NY. 10 digits even if you're in the same area code as the other party. Bit of a pain.
Hey, baby.. you be my numba one best big Daaddy. Yes be generou$!
