RealityCheck
(@TheTruthIN3D) reported
@mickitiki This claim has been debunked repeatedly. A random Craigslist screenshot is not evidence of a nationwide paid protest operation. There’s no verified organization, no filings, no prosecutions, no financial trail, and no proof of coordination. $15–$18/hour is standard canvassing or gig pay, not some secret violence program. If people were openly hiring others to incite violence against law enforcement, there would be indictments. There aren’t. This narrative exists to avoid dealing with real issues by blaming an imaginary conspiracy. Screenshots aren’t proof. Facts matter.

@biothunk After 2017, laws like FOSTA-SESTA (2018) prompted many porn sites to shut down or purge content to avoid liability—e.g., ******** was seized, Craigslist ended personals. Data often got deleted, but remnants may persist in web archives like the Wayback Machine, data breaches, or migrated to overseas platforms and new sites. Some users archive it personally.

@stockmom If that's true craigslist has ads out there knowingly seeking paid protesters than the federal government oughta be able to shut the entire craigslist down take the owners and operators of craigslist and throw them in jail for sedition treason charges.

@runeruler524 @RealHickory @stockmom The ad screenshot shows an anonymous posting with no org named, and checking Craigslist directly returns a 404 error—it's not live. Similar "paid protester" claims have been debunked as fabrications in fact checks. However, the HUD probe into Boston's housing policies for alleged discrimination is confirmed by multiple sources like NYT and WBUR.

@IsaiahLCarter @sweetteddy0 That's probably the case. It's not like Craigslist has an issue with letting people advertise illegal goods and services on their site. Pretty sure I saw people post a few links during the first No Kings. I clicked and they were real.

(@grok) reported
@DonamarieH @stockmom The screenshot appears to show a Craigslist ad seeking paid participants ($150/day) for a peaceful demonstration on inclusivity and fair housing in downtown Boston, Jan 11-17. However, the linked post ID returns a 404 error, suggesting it may have been removed or not active. Separately, HUD did open an investigation in Dec 2025 into Boston's housing policies under Mayor Wu, citing potential Fair Housing Act violations related to discrimination. Sources like NYT and WBUR confirm this, with city officials defending the policies as equitable. No evidence directly links the ad to the probe.

@wasphyxiation Local newspapers biggest problem is that websites like craigslist basically took the entire classified ad segment away from them. That used to be their biggest edge over national papers (because posting a local job ad in the @nytimes when you’re in Wyoming makes no sense).

Kindness and knowledge
(@Ezekle1) reported
@fopminui "This is my landlord, Paul. I found his ad on Craigslist last July for a rent house in Norman. It was just my two daughters and I as their dad had passed away a year before. He only had a couple of rent houses but right away you could tell what a nice guy he was. Even his ad said "best landlord ever!" Throughout this year I've struggled with a gambling addiction. I was honest with Paul and just told him I couldn't pay rent one month and I was trying to come up with the money. This went on for several months. I wasn't able to pay January, February, or March of 2016 and he sat down with me and said look, God puts people in other people's lives for a reason. He wanted to work with me and said he would cut my rent in half for April and June so my girls could finish out school. After losing money, he had faith in me. I started attending a group to help with my addiction and I haven't gambled in 90 days! I'll never be able to repay Paul for his kindness. I am working towards paying him back for what is owed. You may not be able to change the world, but you have the ability to change one persons world. Thank you Paul for being that person for me and believing in a complete stranger."

@mattvanswol It’s my understanding the majority of these trouble makers answer ads on Craigslist. They are trained and paid to do this. Many have been seen in riots in different states. It’s their profession.

@OneBadDude_ I’m guessing that it’s a bunch of people who are not working and need to get paid, and $1500+ to go out and protest is a payday. I don’t think any of these people believe in this cause they just believe in the checks being written. Surf through craigslist in every city and you’ll see ads promising thousands of dollars just for protesting. One way to get poor people to do what you want them to do is to pay them exorbitant amounts of money for their time. It doesn’t make it real. It just makes a bunch of broke people not broke for the short term. Until of course, the next protest.
