The U.S. Congress has passed a law, that if signed into law by the President, would "subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully," according to Craigslist.
"Any tool or service can be misused," Craigslist said. "We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day."
So Craigslist will shut down its dating section to protect itself from potential liability.
How do you think this will affect things in the future? Is it fair to punish people for the actions of others?
