Craigslist axes personal ads after sex trafficking bill passes
quote:
Legislation is intended is to curb online sex trafficking by holding website operators more accountable for their users' activities.
The popular online classified ads site Craigslist has stopped publishing personal ads after the Senate approved a controversial sex trafficking bill that makes website operators more accountable for their users' activities.
Craigslist's personal ads have for decades been a popular way for people to make romantic connections, but with the Senate's approval Wednesday of the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), Craigslist said it couldn't afford risking its operations by running personal ads.

The legislation -- approved by both branches of Congress -- amends Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act from 1996, which many online platforms saw as a vital protection from liability for content posted by their users. The legislation makes it a crime to operate an internet platform with the intent of promoting prostitution.
Section 230 needed to be amended. There is a really good Netflix documentary about this called I Am Jane Doe. Sex Trafficking victims have been litigating and advocating for this change for a while.
