The latest Craigslist rap should be proof that enough is enough and something needs to be done about this site. Although it is my dream to see this scumbag site (and most of the losers that use it) wiped off the Internet, unfortunately if that happened they would just create another scumbag site and continue on with their loserness there.
I do question this statement by Craigslist CEO which indicates:
“Buckmaster defended Craigslist’s inclusion of the “erotic services” classification on its sites. He said users requested it so those ads would be posted there, where users can avoid them, instead of being scattered among other ad categories. He also insisted that illegal activity is “absolutely not welcome there.”
So if he insists that “illegal activity” is not welcome there, why is he allowing prostitutes to post ads for sex? Why does he allow people to post innocent people’s phone numbers in the Rants and Raves section? Why does he allow people to post nude pictures of themselves? Why does he allow people to threaten other people’s lives? I could go on and on. I hate to admit but I have experienced some of these things myself.
A murder has happened. It’s not the first one that stemmed from Craigslist. And unless this trashy site is removed from the Internet, I’m afraid it will happen again.
