Minors who have posted on Craigslist can request removal of that content by emailing eraser@craigslist.org, though Craigslist explicitly disclaims responsibility for content that may have been copied or cached elsewhere on the internet.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implements California Business and Professions Code §22581 (the 'eraser law'), which requires operators of websites directed at minors or with actual knowledge of minor users to permit registered minors to remove their own publicly posted content. COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq., 16 C.F.R. Part 312) applies if Craigslist collects personal information from children under 13, enforced by the FTC. (2)
