Craigslist wins discrimination lawsuit
An Illinois Court ruled yesterday in favor of Craigslist in a suit that contended that Craiglist was liable for the content of some of the real estate listings on Craigslist. The plaintiff maintained that Craigslist's failure to police the listings violated the Fair Housing Act because they included notes such as "no minorities" or "no children".
The Judge maintained that Craigslist was not obligated to police these listings, citing other decisions that have protected information intermediaries from being held liable for the content of posts to their sites or forums.
