We regret to inform you beautiful people of the internet that time has come to say goodbye to Craigslist's personal sections.
The Watch Batman Death in the Family Onlineonline classifieds site made the decision to eliminate all personal ads on Thursday in response to the Senate passing H.R.1865, a bill that aims to crackdown on websites which promote or facilitate online sex trafficking.
SEE ALSO: Why the Web Hasn't Birthed a Prettier Craigslist"US Congress just passed HR 1865, 'FOSTA', seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully," Craigslist posted in a statement online.
"Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day."
Though it's unclear exactly which personal ads or how many have been removed from the site, it appears one of the most beloved subsections might be impacted.
The links to Missed Connections — an online community in Craigslist dedicated to uniting crushes around the world who missed their initial opportunity to connect in person — no longer work, but instead take you to an error message.
UPDATE: March 23, 2018, 3:09 p.m. EDT It appears as if the Missed Connections section of Craiglist has been added under the Community heading and is still in use by the site.

"To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!" Craigslist said in its statement.
The announcement comes a day after Reddit banned several personal sub-reddits, including those that facilitated the transaction of "paid services involving physical sexual contact."
Mashablehas reached out to Craigslist for additional comment.
Correction — An earlier version of this story ran with the headline that Craigslist's Missed Connections was ending with the personal ads. It now appears that the section, which seemed to be a broken link this morning, is now available under the Community heading.
