With the recent problems that internet sources like craigslist have brought into the publics eye is only a small window into this world. Craigslist began as almost a big yard sale cite, people personally selling junk with no online restrictions within the selling agreement. This became a monster of its own creation, due to the poor design and limited restrictions. People began to run with the idea, and started to sell absurd things. My favorite I heard about is the selling of personal body skin for tattooed advertisement space. This sites worst feature is that it allows people who already have a pre-determined mind to find/do something illegal a source to meet and work off of. From the numerous postings such as, “just want to have a fun night with new people” illustrates the cites inability to slow and stop simple forms of prostitution. Craigslist is pumping more problems into the system that is already plagued with hard obstacles. In my eyes part of craigslist is just offering opportunities to people who are already troubled and helping them find ways to scam people and salisitate. It has already been proven that it is capable of these things, but little has been done to protect its users from sex crimes, scams and fraud compared to what similar cites offer.
