Has anyone else been on Craigslist personals lately?

I went to look on craigslist personals earlier this morning and it seems to have been shut down.

Another solution by our incompetent government. Trampling on our rights to free expression, free speech, free association, and to engage in lawful free enterprise, by harming lawfully-compliant companies, in this case a company offering citizens the ability to enjoy these rights. These platform companies have little to no control over what people post, nor should they be required to censor posts by trampling on those rights. Of course, posts offering to engage in illegal activity will get through, but it is not the company's or the government's purview to approve every post. [i]Caveat emptor[/i] applies here, “let the buyer beware,” in that the viewer or reader is responsible for their reaction to such posts. They can choose to act on the post, or ignore it. The rest of us are not responsible for protecting every victim out there. Children and vulnerable people are going to be trafficked whether these sites exist or not. It is the parent's and family's responsibility to protect each other. How much more time will pass before the government shuts down this site because it doesn't agree with what is said here?
