SESTA/FOSTA

If you’re wondering why Craigslist shut down its personals section, it’s because on April 11, 2018, SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) and FOSTA (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) were signed into law. These laws were created ostensibly to combat sex trafficking, but will do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Find out about these laws here:
