Politics, Tech: Dear Henry McMaster: You’re a massive jerk. Here’s why.
- Craigslist is great. Despite the creative destruction it’s creating for the newspaper industry at the moment, it’s clearly a useful resource that millions of people – thousands in the state of South Carolina, where McMaster is attorney general – find value in. They’re one of the few Web services more concerned about value than profit. source

- Craigslist isn’t “erotic” We’ve all heard this drama about Craigslist’s “Erotic Services” section, the “Craigslist Killer” and how Craigslist is ruining our society for having the same kind of ads that run in alt-weeklies and Yellow pages. But few people use it for this purpose – mostly, people sell stuff, find apartments and look for jobs. Not massages. source

- Political grab Henry McMaster’s attempt to file criminal charges against a very popular service in his state over a tiny minority of posts (40 out of 334,180 in S.C.) is clearly just an attempt by McMaster to Spitzer his way into higher office. Because Craigslist means headlines. Craigslist won’t take it. Apologize to them, Henry. source
