	"Fair" Housing Lawsuit Dismissed
		A group of lawyers is suing craigslist over a handful of allegedly discriminatory housing ads posted by our users, ignoring the fact that craigslist is not a publisher, but rather a community-moderated commons run by and for its users, who self-publish and manage their own ads and use a flagging system to police the site.
		While craigslist takes fair housing issues very seriously, and we want to do everything we can to assist our users in promoting fair housing for everyone, the 100 ads cited were a little surprising.
		We will continue to work with such groups on fair housing issues, and remain open to genuine suggestions on how to improve, despite the needless distraction and counterproductive waste of resources this litigation will bring.
