Cragly - Craigslist Personals Alternative

AZ BIG MEDIA - Sep 26 - After the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), Craigslist closed its personals section. Cragly was created by a former Craigslist personals user aiming to be an alternative to Craigslist personals. "FOSTA has forced many sites to close. It's not only a disaster to those sites, but also a disaster to those users using them legally," said Alesandra Madison, the co-founder of Cragly. "As a kinkster, I had been using Craigslist personals to find kinky friends for nine months. There were so many people using Craiglist personals to date or hook up with others. Many of them used it instead of dating apps like Tinder because of privacy issues." Unlike Craigslist, Cragly doesn't allow its users to post nude photos. Sex workers are not allowed to join Cragly.
