Tom Dart

Last updated

In March 2009, Dart filed a lawsuit in federal court against Craigslist, Inc. (09-CV-1385), [12] to close the "erotic services" section of Craigslist. [13] The suit claims that Craigslist is the "largest source of prostitution". The lawsuit was dismissed on October 23, 2009, on the grounds that Craigslist is protected by Section 230 immunity. [14]
