Summary:
Get ready to miss missed connections: Craigslist has removed its personal ads section in response to the Senate’s passing of H.R. 1865, a bill aimed at holding websites accountable for the promotion or facilitation of online sex trafficking.
The Senate voted Thursday to pass the bill, after which Craigslist moved quickly to rid the site of personal ads including “casual encounters,” which people would use to connect with others for the purposes of casual sex.
