I know girls who are in the sex industry working as escorts. Some of them do advertise on Craigslist to attract more clientele. Apparently,that may be just a thing of the past in 40 states.Craigslist will make it much more difficult to advertise your personal wares on their site. They will make you provide a phone number & pay with a credit card in order to advertise under erotic services. In my opinion, they should arrest anyone who put a child out there as a prostitute. But if it's two consenting adults who are using protection & healthy, it's not anyone's business. We must protect children though.Here's an excerpt from The Associated Press:
"Police across the country have been arresting people for using Web sites like Craigslist to advertise the sexual services of women and children.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who brokered the agreement, said his office contacted Craigslist after receiving several complaints from users late in 2007 about photographs depicting nudity on the site. He said Craigslist cooperated fully and there was never a need to threaten legal action against the company.
The states that signed the agreement are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam also joined."(END OF EXCERPT) Go here to read the whole article:
