Craigslist getting neutered - maybe

Its perfectly acceptable for Craigslist to choose what users can publish on its site. Its perfectly unacceptable for the government to limit that free speech.

And that's what advertisements are, even if the services advertised are not quite legal. It is free speech.

Free speech = first amendment = abolute

The only silver lining is that the founder of Craigslist appears to be fighting this so far.

I agree. The gov't shouldn't regulate free speech at all.
