Please move all casual-encounters and FWB searches elsewhere, Craigslist is bowing out on personals immediately.
They posted the following on their website.
US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.
Any tool or service can be misused. 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 someday.
To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through Craigslist, we wish you every happiness!
