Craigslist dumps 'adult service' adverts
Found on BBC News on Friday, 03 September 2010
The section has now been replaced with a black and white bar that reads "censored". An "erotic" service is still active outside the US.
The listings came under renewed scrutiny after the suicide in prison last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist.
And last week in a joint letter to Craigslist, 17 attorneys general said women and children would "continue to be victimised in the market and trafficking provided by Craigslist".
What a ridiculous article. I wonder if the author really thinks that because of that censorship there suddenly will be no more prostitution and abuse. It will just move somewhere else. You could as well blame your local newspaper, online dating services or simply just search engines. So let's just block all communication between humans and there will be no more prostitution. As a nice side effect there also won't be articles like this anymore either.
