The wildly popular, infinitely useful, online classified ads website, Craigslist, was found not guilty of charges from Chicago based Civil Rights attorney group that claimed Craigslist violated federal housing laws and was responsible for posting ads that excluded potential buyers or tenants on the basis of race, gender or religion.

Since Craigslist allows it’s users to post unedited classified ads, it is protected under the Communications Decency Act. The Electronic Frontier Foundation said this ruling means that, “the soapbox is not liable for what the speaker said.” Keeping Craigslist and sites like it, free from liability when it comes to it’s users’ posted content.

The appeals court didn’t rule out investigating individuals who post discriminatory ads onto Craigslist, which some argue, is a more appropriate approach to dealing with the matter.
