Grumble...


Craigslist seems to have begun blocking the use of the term 'HIV' in ads about psychotherapy practices. I finally figured out why my practice ads weren't going through in recent weeks. Oddly, practice specialty terms like 'AIDS' or 'gay' or 'polyamory' are fine. They won't let me post a photo any more, either. I think they're conflating therapy ads with personals ads.

I wrote them a note about the HIV issue, not that they've responded to any other words; meanwhile, I've substituted the word AIDS, and my ads are being allowed through. Sigh...

I think Craigslist has had so many legal issues lately that their current policy and filtering is most likely confusing at the moment. But looks like you have a work around although does that help someone searching?
