Craigslist to drop its online red-light district
Now for a little news sure to change the ‘business’ practices of ‘massage specialists’ and ‘escorts.’
Craigslist is dropping its online red-light district, the “erotic services” ads.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says Craigslist will create a new adult category that Craigslist employees will review, the Associated Press reported Wednesday, May 13.
Existing erotic ads will expire in seven days.
Many a prostitute and john - including some locally - have used the ads to foster business relationships, law enforcement has said.
(Wink!)
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, the AP reported.
