Craig Newmark Will Murder You In Your Sleep (Says His Competitor)

A web listings service of which I’ve never heard has released some “stunning data” about crime on Craiglist, putting them somewhere in bed with John Boehner or maybe Rick Santorum. How much crime happens on Craigslist? On average, points out Fast Company, “around 0.00005% of posts are associated with crimes on Craigslist.” That puts Craigslist use at somewhere on the safer side of flying in an airplane, which is far safer than sitting in your apartment, basically. And by the way, “crime” also includes prostitution and a whole lot of “other.” So they’re not only fearmongerers, they also hate proud American (sex) workers.
