I support the Judge’s decision, believing that internet companies are not responsible for postings on their site, or for services from third parties. Sure, prostitution and crime occur through Craigslist… and many instances have been stopped by undercover police investigations. Lawbreakers on Craigslist are unwise, seeing as they leave an electronic trail to themselves. This current way of dealing with internet crime doesn’t hinder freedom of speech, while suing a company 100,000 for simply “being there” seems like a breach in the 1st Amendment. You don’t see Yahoo getting sued for a user getting spam mail. And rightfully so.
