More On Craigslist’s Ads

The litigation over craigslist’s “erotic ads” section is heating up. Even though the site reached an agreement with 40 states attorneys general last year, and has modified its practices since the arrest of a Boston man in the murder of a woman who advertised on craigslist, South Carolina’s A.G. launched an investigation of the site. But craigslist filed a lawsuit, alleging interference with its First Amendment rights, and Judge Weston Houck granted a TRO, blocking the attorney general, Henry McMasters, until he could hear further motions in the suit.
