Craigslist is a US based website.

OF is an English company.

The law that caused Craigslist to remove their “Personals” section would allow Craigslist to be held liable for any crimes committed through the site.

So, if I posted, “For Sale: Child For Sex Slavery. $100,000 OBO”, Craigslist would get charged with human trafficking and child abuse as well as me.

That’s why they removed it.

It was easier to do that than fight all the legal battles they’d get involved in.

I did not know that. Thanks!

What happens if that stuff gets posted on OF? English law handles it or …?
