Dismissal of Fair Housing Discrimination Lawsuit Against Craigslist Affirmed by 7th Circuit A few years ago, a consortium of Chicago attorneys sued Craigslist alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act via rental postings which contained phrases such as "NO MINORITIES" and "no children." Read some of the background here. The District Court dismissed the suit 14 November 2006, holding that Craigslist was not liable since it could not be "a publisher" of content provided by its users. The 7th Circuit affirmed. Read Chief Judge Easterbrook's opinion here. --DOBrien 19:39, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
