Craigslist Founder Donates $1 Million to Fight 'Fake News'

"AK said she knew of more than 20 girls who were trafficked on the site"
One of the women, who identified herself as MC, said she was forced into prostitution at the age of 11 by a man who trafficked "many girls my age".
"All day, me and other girls sat with our laptops, pasting pictures and answering ads on Craigslist, he made $1,500 a night selling my body, dragging me to Los Angeles, Houston, Little Rock – and on one trip to Las Vegas in the trunk of a car," the ad said. "Craig we write this letter so you will know from our personal experiences how Craigslist makes horrific acts like this so easy to carry out … and the men who arrange them very rich."
The second woman, identified as AK, said that last year she met a man twice her age who pretended to be her boyfriend. "He put my picture on Craigslist, and I was sold for sex by the hour at truck stops and cheap motels, 10 hours with 10 different men every night. This became my life," the ad said. "Men answered the Craigslist advertisements and paid to rape me. The $30,000 he pocketed each month was facilitated by Craigslist 300 times."
AK said she knew of more than 20 girls who were trafficked on the site: "Like me, they were taken from city to city, each time sold on a different Craigslist site."

this is from 2 years ago:
Are Craigslist Discussion Forum Trolls Part of a Wider NSA Program To Control Debate Online? "Liberal" Craig Newmark & "Libertarian/Anarchist" Jim Buckmaster, founder and CEO of craigslist direct staff to routinely censor discussions which are anti-establishment.

It could be a way for intelligence agencies to keep track of cheating spouses, down low gays and hidden perversions, to know a person's weaknesses or perhaps to use against them for blackmail purposes. For example, Hoover's FBI was known to keep track of such info on prominent individuals (which was ironic given Hoover's own secret life),
