Question: Craigslist, Inc., runs a Web site for classified ads, including ads for the sale and rental of houses and apartments. Some of the posted ads were discriminatory (although not consistent), containing text such as: "Neighborhood is predominantly Caucasian, Polish and Hispanic," "NO MINORITIES," "Non-Women of Color NEED NOT APPLY." Was Craigslist liable for these ads? Strategy: Remember that only content providers are liable. Result: Craigslist was not liable because it was only a conduit for information, not a provider itself.
