Craigslist to crack down on prostitution ads
Under the watchful eye of law enforcement in 40 states, Craigslist pledged Thursday to crack down on ads for prostitution on its Web sites.
As part of Craigslist’s agreement with attorneys general around the country, anyone who posts an “erotic services” ad will be required to provide a working phone number and pay a fee with a valid credit card. The Web site will provide that information to law enforcement if subpoenaed.
On the grounds of ‘underage sex’ and ‘trafficking’.
So, I guess they’ll be pulling car ads next on the grounds that people who’ve bought cars off CL sometimes crash and the car might not be quite up to spec.
Land of the free, huh? I’m pleased I live elsewhere..
