Craigslist Blamed Yet Again For Something It Didn't Do

Weren't we just pointing out that everyone seems to want to blame Craigslist for things that it has no responsibility for?

The latest is Connecticut's Attorney General, who has attacked Craigslist for allowing ads for prostitution .

This is hardly a new charge. Last summer, the mayor of Atlanta lobbed similar charges at Craigslist.

But, of course, just like that time, the blame is misplaced. Craigslist is the tool provider, not the content provider.

To blame Craigslist...
