Craigslist Personals taken offline...

[Bakis]

What is "a necro" I am courious?

A thread that idled out into death, brought back at a later time by someone.
It's not allowed by forum rules.

This is all they show

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!"

This really sucks...

Lovely. Blame the bad actors for everyone else using it correctly. How do they blame the hammer for how hard it hit the nail again?

well when the people in question are still using chisels instead of hammers and view hammers as new and frightening technologies.

It is amazing how ignorant our lawmakers are about the subject matter they pass laws upon.

Well, I agree with you...

[Ghostpanther]

So no more really fun ladies seeking generous dates LOL?

Lol! Good one.

I would think, unless you are stationed somewhere like a outpost in Greenland, you should be able to find a good person to date locally. At least I never had issues finding women to date when I was single. Plus there are still many other dating sites one can use.

As long as they don't shut down r/wetspot I'm good. In some ways it's way hotter than porn.

Exactly. Sharing your opinion 101%.

But where can rednecks organise their "crystal charging freezer JO" sessions now while ensuring it remains totally not gay?

Private company, they set their own rules.

There are some federal rules they have to follow and the solution to following them is simple. hire more mods to go trough each and every personal when it's posted and delete those that encourage criminal activity.

Instead of doing that CL have chosen to take their metaphorical ball and gome home and people are reacting with "GUBERMENTIONAL OVERREACH!"

CL could easily solve this, instead they have chosen the narrative of "any regulation is BAAAD!"

A few rotten apples does spoil the rest unless they're spotted and thrown out. When your policy is to allow everyone in, stop acting hurt when there are some less altruistic people amongst them. Your mess, your fault, your problem.

Make bars great again?

oh no pedos and monsters won't be able to exploit an easy way to catch their next victim how sad

I never think in that direction, maybe you are right...

99% of it was just escorts. There is literally nothing wrong with prostitution. It should be legal, take it off the streets and put it into a safer environment. Calling everyone who fucks an escort a monster or a pedo is really stupid.

category to the wonderful world of todays' GOP.

Despite the fact that 60 democrats cosponsored the bill and it passed the house 388-25 and passed the Senate 97-2?

Exactly, nothing wrong just as you said it should be moved to safe place... In many EU countries they solved on that way.

Sex trafficking in the US is big business, massage parlors alone bring in $2.5 billion a year through trafficked victims. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1F6321

I feel safe calling people who visit an escort a perpetrator of sexual violence, of course the girls aren't going to tell you if they are being trafficked or being held under psychological control of a pimp. Good luck trying to siphon out the ones who are truly doing it "because they want to" and not because they're being forced to or have no other option.
