Craigslist Cracks Down on Erotic Services by Charging for Posting

Share      

Craigslist has responded to pressure from 40 state attorneys to regulate the ads posted in their erotic services section. From now on, according to CEO Jim Buckmaster, the site will require a valid phone and credit card number in order to post in the section. The credit card will then be charged a small fee. The official justification for this is to help eliminate human trafficking, in particular that of children. The changes are already in effect. No other section of the site has been changed, however.
