Craigslist removes ads after sex-traffickin­g bill

-

Americans looking for love or companions­hip on Craigslist can’t make a connection.

The classified ads site on Friday has taken its personals section offline in the United States.

The action comes after the U.S.

Senate on Wednesday passed an antisex traffickin­g bill that could hold the website and others responsibl­e for illegal activity if it becomes law. The company said the Fight Online Sex Traffickin­g Act seeks to subject websites to criminal and civil liability.
