Shame on Craigslist

Once again the on-line swap meet Craiglist.com has run afoul of people for its inability to monitor what happens on its network. The Cook County Illinois Sheriff filed a lawsuit against Craigslist "saying the popular Web site promotes and facilitates prostitution on a massive scale." But, according to the article, the issue goes far beyond prostitution. People who stand against slavery and human trafficking have cited that Craigslist has been used to solicit minors for sex as well as to deal in human trafficking. This is a serious issue and, at some point, we have to ask ourselves are the things that we are supporting actually hurting the world. I don't know about you, but I will be staying off of Craigslist until they manage to get their house in order.
