It is business. As long as money, influence and power are in the mix, there is no room for morality. The only way to hurt big money interests Ebay, et al... is to boycott their services.

EBAY is backing dooring freedom of speech while at the same time collecting fees and profiting from the listing of kiddy porn.

I've just flagged 22 ads posted in ONE day, most of which had one of only two different texts in the ad body (and I stopped only because I gave up). Why won't Craigslist do anything about this. You're obviously capable of it, because you've blocked MY reposts.

I Police are invited to post contact information online on Craigslist where citizens may contact the Police regarding ads suspected of exploitation of minors (see for example http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/personals.cgi?category=rnr. http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/exploitation_of_minors and may find national and international websites related to missing and exploited Children and also the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. Interestingly, The State of Connecticut and the communities therein, have not taken advantage of Craigslist's open request to list local and state police and related agencies to help protect their State's children.
