Craigslist was a staple of the early internet days, revolutionizing local commerce and connecting people to their neighborhoods and cities. Recently, the site decided to pull its personals section as a response to Senate bill H.R.1865, which is cracking down on digital sex trafficking. While Craigslist is forever a relic in the internet timeline, here are a list of websites and phone applications that offer similar services with more precautionary measures.
