In response to a new federal law, within the past few days Craigs List has shut down its US personal ad sections. Apparently, the sections were used as tools of prostitutes and human traffickers. Kudos to CL but I'm troubled why it hasn't done so internationally.

And more than a couple psycho killers have used it to lure their victims, as well....

Its use makes Craig's List too much money worldwide to try to end it...$$ over people....
