The reason is because of the case against Backpage.
Backpage clearly won on the immunity deal for being a website under federal law but they ruled in California their immunity did not extend to money laundering so therefore they can only post phone numbers because a phone number in and of itself apparently is ok
Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017 (SESTA) S. 1693.
Similar Bill in the House (H. R. 1865) “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017" aka FOSTA
