Craigslist dropping 'erotic services' ads

Illinois attorney general says Craigslist will create a new adult category

CHICAGO - Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says that Craigslist is getting rid of its "erotic services" ads and will create a new adult category that Web site employees will review.
Madigan's office said Wednesday that such existing ads on Craigslist will expire in seven days.
Madigan and the attorneys general for Connecticut and Missouri met with Craigslist officials last week seeking an end to ads they contend are advertisements for illegal sexual activities.

An e-mail sent to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster was not immediately returned Wednesday morning.
Craigslist came under renewed pressure to remove the ads after a medical student in Boston was charged with the April killing of a masseuse he met on the site.

I guess they figure it will stop the "Pros" from listing an Ad.

OK, so I go out to Craigslist and there is now an "Adult" sub-section under the "Services" section. So I click on that.

Now they don't allow ages to be listed. They don't allow money to be listed. And no talk about any services that might be performed even if it is in code. I don't think they even allow the word "massage" to be listed but I could be wrong.

For all intents and purposes it's business as usual.

Those were the best.

Not a problem in Tijuana either.

If Craigslist was going to do away with all of these ads I would have to drive down there for my entertainment.

They are ending the "erotic services" listings in everywhere or just Illnois? I guess everywhere.

If the USA is everywhere & everything, then yes.
