why did craigslist make an about-face? what EFF (Zimmerman) isn't telling...

Twitter: what @EFF (Zimmerman) isn't telling: craigslist HAS TO remove the ads and "self-policing has little or no impact" http://tinyurl.com/ousx4z7 minutes ago from web

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.
