Legal Question in Technology Law in California
I want to start an online site that is dedicated to the adult industry. I will take great precausion to prevent minors from advertising. But if I do this will I fall under the Communications Decency Act if I put adult ads like www.craigslist.org did and www.backpage.com did. I will need a good internet lawyer to guide me on how to do this buisness legally.

As you may know, craigslist's problems related to prostitution charges, not pornography, and prostitution is illegal almost everywhere in the US for people of whatever age. A degree of caution to exclude minors may be helpful, but your business, and you personally, will be vulnerable to prosecution so long as you know, or with reasonable diligence could discover, that your site is directly facilitating illegal activity.
