BAH ! Craigslist Killer and Deregulation


Why should the Internet escape reasonable regulation? Some guy in ________ is accused of ________ women who posted sex-for-money ads on Craigslist. He may have set them up for murder in the quiet recesses of fancy hotels. Now there is a hue and cry for the founder of Craigslist, Craig Newmark,, to rein in the ads to protect the public.

Why does the Federal Communications Act of 1996 protect what some attorney generals call the largest porn industry in the country?

Why does it take murder for the public to wake up to the dangers of an unregulated Internet? Minorities already know not to trust job listings on the internet because so many are just come-ons by anonymous characters who are really seeking ways to strip ____________ of their money. Now we also know at least one mild-mannered medical student allegedly wanted to strip women of much much more.
