Twitter: what @EFF (Zimmerman) isn't telling: craigslist HAS TO remove the ads and "self-policing has little or no impact" http://tinyurl.com/ousx4z
...
of course you can never know these things for sure but craigslist has the legal responsibility to remove illegal ads if they are made aware of them: the SC AG did just that and gave them reasonable time to remove them (10 days); regardless of whether or not craigslist would have been found criminally guilty of facilitating prostitution (which is nowhere as unlikely as craigslist sycophants, such as EFF, claim) craigslist would have still been legally responsible for not having removed those ads within reasonable time... so they thought better of it... and THEN demanded an apology! *lol* ridiculous craigslist PR as usual....

P.S. in case you are wondering what about craigslist's (bogus) claim of "self-policing," the Illinois AG has proven just how empty it really is... (end of 7th paragraph) D.

(aside) is Twitter more democratic than regular blogging?
Seth, (9th comment)
Twitter appears to be more democratic than regular blogging -- the chance of a random person to be heard seems better.
I found it hard to believe that not long after I joined I got an invitation to go on a radio talk show to talk about craigslist. And, no... I didn't do it but my ideas made it on the show -- a lot more than I could say for having previously blogged about craigslist for years.
But I agree that these sort of things should not be commercial enterprises (the real assets are the people who actually built the following and they are the ones getting sold).

EFF continues to defend obsolete legal rationale
UPDATE: in a cowardish move (so it seems to me), Jim Buckmaster "moderated" against my comment (didn't fit the party line, I guess..) D.

re: "If site operators were forced to screen all third party contributions under risk of civil or criminal penalty, the Internet would lose many of the vibrant services that have made it so dynamic."
EFF continues to defend obsolete legal rationale: that protection was given when the internet was in its infancy -- way overdue for an update! (sites should be required to spend a reasonable amount on preventive measures *given their profits* -- craigslist appears to insist on maintaining huge profits and extremely low expenses no matter what ...)

Chris, In case you haven't noticed, Jim is using the craigslist blog as a PR tool -- ridiculous PR at times... (e.g. calling the shape-up-or-else meeting with the AGs "cordial" *lol* ) ~Delia
