Criagslists "flagging" has allowed for the creation and assertion of unfair competition against individual business owners and the public at large. Furthermore "Craigslist" has created a monopoly and allows the creation of monopolies through the administrator deletion of legitimate business posters posts, this happens even though the posts are well within "Craigslists" rules. This means that "craigslist" has broken all the above laws. They have entered into a "conspiracy" by refusing to remove the "flagging" and by administrator deleting posts from legitimate business owners.
