    no more craigslist personals adds

    Just did a search on craigslist personals adds. instead of the add's all i see is a notice that congress passed some kinda fosta act & they don't wanna put up add's anymore because of it. something about sex trafficing which i agree should be fought but it means no more craigslist personals add's at least for now. not that i ever got lucky from them but just saying...... does anyone know anything about this?

    it is not President Trump...it is Congress who is using this to fight him. Fine to complain, but direct it in the right area.

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    Here is the crux of it (directly quoted) from CNN Tech:

    Quote "The move comes two days after the Senate approved of bipartisan legislation called the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act.

    The legislation, awaiting President Donald Trump's signature, would create an exception to Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which would pave the way for victims of sex trafficking to sue websites that facilitate their abuse." Unquote

    The law does not outlaw personal ads on CL or any other site. The new law now will allow companies and online sites to be sued by victims of sex trafficking and abuse. Individual sexual predators using online commerce to commit sexual abuse are apparently considered to be sex traffickers. Craigslist on its own, because it HAS been used in the US and internationally by sex traffickers and other individual sexual predators, is choosing to avoid future liability. It's a business decision. I guess it remains to be seen if other adult sex sites will do the same and do away with personal ads. ! I know that Fetlife saw this coming and got out ahead of it by making changes to its site which hamper the efforts of sex traffickers and predators. I hope other str8 and LGBTQ adult sites have done or will do as Fetlife has done to make themselves less liable and lawsuit-proof, but not by banning profiles and ads !

    I didn't know what that law was about and now that I do----it seems like it is a good one---this is a real issue and I had heard that at one point---Craig's List did have some personals that ran that did get connected to sex trafficking, so they had a not so good track record---look at the shit that Facebook is in with the Cambridge Analytica deal with them improperly using the person data of 50 million people provided by Facebook---so far they have not faced any possible regulation or other sanctions but the stock market is kicking their asses--they have lost at least $50 billion in stock value before the last two days of overall stock market drops that are now well beyond being merely a "correction."

    That CL dropped their personals----it is a case of "Covering Your Ass!" in a business sense.

    I never had any luck with their adds anyway---always some pretty strange adds got run on there---at least in my area they were.

    Here in my area, CL had the same bull shippers that are on silverdaddies, squirt, adam4adam. all ads was users who on these sites and all they wanted was right NOWs, blo n goes. guys who solicited parks and rest areas, or ABS's for just any random guy who willing to drop his pants. CL was totally a waste for me!

    adam4adam dot com, silverdaddies dot com, these sites usually have the very same BS'ers that was on CL!

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    I have noticed that pretty much all over the internet----not as many people go to sites like this one or one of the only other sites I am a member of---Squirt.org---most of the sites that I had been a member of for years, have gone away or gone way down hill.

    Even on Squirt---it doesn't seem that as many people come there and it is almost worthless to be a member of. Things used to be better in the earlier days of the internet like the chat rooms that Yahoo and AOL once had and are now long gone.

    This site used to be very good but it is only a pale shadow of its former self. Perhaps people have gone to new sites and apps on their phones.

    I only would go on to check the personals on CL but it was weird--if there was an add that seemed worth responding to---I never got any sort of response from the person who posted it and I tried a few times to post ads of my own and never got any response at all----so for me it was worthless. Not going to miss their personals.

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    12volt i'll agree with u about the chances on craigslist. most of the add's seemed to be looking for pix or email addresses or something, or women who were escorts. of the few that seemed real i had pretty much the same experiance as u. i did get a few responses but they all eventually stopped responding. so in reality i don't really miss anything with craigslist personals add's going away. but i still wish laws didn't force them from going away. though i kinda understand the reasoning. also agree about earlier days of the internet it seemed there could be more success. wish i took more advantage of things back then.

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    Got a message on Squirt earlier this week, a day or so after this discussion began about Craigslist discontinuing the personal ads. The message was from a guy who had just signed up. It was a very promising lead, and we met for coffee on Wednesday. (Got along great, and we're gonna play next week...) During the course of our conversation, I asked him if the Craigslist issue had anything to do with his becoming a member at Squirt. He said that it had been a significant factor.

    I have been very critical of CL, and ran into nothing but fakes & flakes there. I'd pretty much given up trying to find someone decent there, anyway...

    the nitwits on here trying to excuse their hero/pedophile Trump------who appointed the head of the FCC that made this happen? wake the fuck up

  19. #19

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    No, the nitwits are those who try to make everything about Trump, such as tying SESTA/FOSTA to the FCC's Ajit Pai.

    Congratulations! You got one thing right: Pai was designated chairman by the president in January of 2017, after being appointed to the commission in 2012, by Obama. (and confirmed unanimously by the Senate)

    SESTA and FOSTA are related pieces of legislation created by the House and the Senate. Not the FCC...

    You may now return to your previously-scheduled irrational display of hatred for Trump. I look forward to finding out what despicable things he does next!

    Going back to sleep - thanks for the wake-up call!

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    The sad thing about CL was people could just "Hide" behind their computer...If someone didn't like your Pic, or maybe they didn't have the courage to just meet you in person for a cup of coffee at a diner...

    Craigs Pesonals
    1. you can retrieve your old ads by going in to your account
    2. you can still see and post via https://toronto.craigslist.ca/i/personals?category=cas
    but this is for those looking to go up to Canada to meet.

    An alternative to Craigs is
    http://www.swinglifestyle.com/?signup=OPEN2VARIETY
    For NATIONWIDE lists of swinger parties or to meet local swingers, see photos of people in your ZIP code.

    Well, I found a few months ago, actually in May, list of CL replacement sites, and it is not bad. There are not even close to CL, but if you post on few of them, and don't give up in few days, you may expect some results. Just my experience and my 2 cents

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    Also, I forgot to say: depending on where you live, local classifieds (printer or online) can do the job. For larger communities especial.

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    You are a complete idiot. Your statement has as much factual intelligence as most of trump's tweets.

    Swinglifestyles has gone to shit since they started with that government BS and you cant do NOTHING on it now but view their profiles and can not contact no one in any way. I noticed active members has fell way off to 1/2 within my area. None are smart enough to use a username that can link a email like username@yahoo.com or username@gmail.com, so no way to contact anyone!

    Re: no more craigslist personals adds

    Just a point of clarification:

    The restrictions mentioned in the previous message about SwingLifeStyle, are on FREE members. That's one of the few memberships I've ever paid for, signing up for a lifetime deal 10 or more years ago. Paid SLS members can still send and receive private messages.
