CHICAGO – Online classified ads service Craigslist will get rid of its "erotic services" category that critics called a front for prostitution, replacing it with an adult category that will be reviewed by Web site employees, state attorneys general announced Wednesday."

It makes no difference.

The hookers have already started posting in the "casual encounters" thread of the personals.

More nagging of consenting adults from gubment.....Meanwhile Nigerians attempt to scam people out of thousands of dollars daily using craigslist....but renting a vagina or penis is the bigger crime I guess.

It's a good thing they solved that problem and people can't easily go somewhere else on the site or somewhere else on the internet to do it.....oh wait.

It's stupid. Closing the barn door after the horses have left. A couple of incidents, and yet 1249 people died from drunk driving incidents last year in Illinois.
Maybe the AG should stop fisting his own ass and go after real issues rather than the easy stuff. I hate people like that. He's probably humping the wall all happy with himself, and I've lost respect for Craigslist, because they used to say they wouldn't back down, now they're buckling like a belt.

Craigslist is facing and beginning to understand that if you don't bend over for big bro gubment, they'll just find other ways to waste time, money and resources harassing, stalking and persecuting you.

Unfortunately its a nationwide thing.Several attorney generals including Illinois went after craigslist.Yep theres always the street walking route,thats always good for the neighborhoods.

Hookers will just find other places to post.

The other things the AG probably does is balancing his pencil tip on his desk at times.

It is like trying to put your finger in a dam wall to stop the flood.

So when are they getting rid of it? I just went and looked, and the erotic services section is still up.

You got that right brother! I am so proud to be a puritan Chicagoan/Illinoisan [?] and we keep all crooked politicians and members of the clergy in serious check. Y'all should come and live here in Illinois. . . the waters warm. :tongue:
