I don't think your point's valid either. Driving is operating heavy machinery, plain and simple. Driving without a seatbelt is totally different than using Facebook, or eBay, or Craigslist, unrestricted. They really couldn't be more dissimilar.

No one is going to get into trouble on craigslist. What's the worst that could happen, buying a couch with bedbugs?
Oh dear, you really don't know much about Craigslist do you?
Wait.... so I shouldn't go to that "modeling shoot"? 0_O
Just like being in the real world. Make smart decisions to the best of your ability and you'll be alright. There's nothing inherently wrong with the internet. Some people have things inherently wrong with them, and some of those people use the internet. Nothing to see here.
Also, don't respond to the job ad for that farm in Ohio..

Wow... I had only ever used Craig's List for buying and selling goods. I had no idea there were people raping and murdering each other on there. You'd think that the admins would try to put a stop to that.
