Couple of comments. While it is not a violation of federal law, crossing state lines to commit a crime is a violation of federal law, so texting with someone in another state, then driving to that state do something illegal can be prosecuted in federal court. As a practical matter, federal authorities defer to local prosecution and it is very unlikely they would get involved in a case like this that is being prosecuted in a state. They do get involved when it is arranging for women to travel between states.
I believe Craig decided to shutdown the personal section of Craigslist on his own -- albeit under heavy pressure from some community groups and prosecutors.
Under a law referred to Section 230 (it's Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) websites are not responsible for user generated content. Congress is under pressure to change this due to all the junk that is on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram. It does not provide absolute protection and US based websites have been seized when they move from providing forums to actively engaging in a crime.
For advertising, I would say it just as safe as other methods they use to get business. There is a risk of advertising, but it is less of a risk than being on the street.
Oh yeah, Hugh Grant -- which everyone in Los Angeles would recognize -- picked up a girl on Sunset or Hollywood Blvd while driving a very conspicuous car. Those were all bad strikes. | |
