Federal judge blocks SC AG from prosecuting craigslist…for now

Judge shields Craigslist from prosecution in South Carolina:

A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order against the office of South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster from prosecuting craigslist for aiding and abetting prostitution.

Now this has nothing to do with the first amendment. The restraining order was granted while the merits of craigslst’s lawsuit against McMaster.

So while everyone on the craigslist side of things is claiming some kind of victory for free speech in reality it’s just a formality in legal proceedings.
