If you're going to talk about societal impact then you need to also look at how much they enabled sexual exploitation and human trafficking, worldwide, by serving as an ad site for pimps.

Craig and James knew damn well where most of their revenue was coming from, and pimps were able to get increasingly bold with their slang, moving from "model" to "escort" to just outright saying "prostitute" because Craigslist didn't care.

They only did something about it in 2010 when public outrage grew and prosecutors - around the world - started investigating.

Craig and James belong in jail cells, not having their di...er, egos, stroked for giving away their money to organizations that help veterans - the most lazy, non-controversial target for a non-profit.

That's more something to blame on prostitution being illegal with no safeguards or legal help for those being trafficked.

Edit: how many times are you going to post that? You have something against sex workers? Or just Craigslist?
