Craigslist could face regulation with trafficking accusations

Newspapers haven't been able to slow the rapid growth of Craigslist's classified advertising, but regulators might have better luck. The ongoing battle to curb sex ads on Craigslist took a turn on Friday, with a new ad campaign protesting the company's policies about adult advertising. That same night, a federal judge blocked Craigslist's attempt to halt an investigation into its "adult services" section.

If regulators have their way, this could cut into a third of Craigslist's earnings.
