Advertising site Craigslist takes down adult services content from US
servers but 'erotic' ads remain in place elsewhere
Campaigners against prostitution and sex trafficking appeared to have won
a victory over the weekend when Craigslist, the powerful online
advertising website, capitulated to mounting pressure and removed its
"adult services" content from US servers.
The move is an important concession in the fierce debate in America
between free speech and first amendment advocates and those seeking to
clean up the web and protect vulnerable girls and women from exploitation.
It follows a sustained campaign by prosecutors across the US to have the
sex advertisements removed.
In the absence of comment from Craigslist, it is not clear whether the
shift will be permanent. It is also unclear what the concession means for
other countries, including the UK, where "erotic" services remained
available today. However, the fact that the site's executives placed a
"censored" block over its adult services link in the US suggests that, in
word at least, they have not given up the fight.
The sex services portion of the website, previously called its "erotic"
section, was criticised as a thinly veiled clearing house for
prostitution. It exposed Craigslist to several damaging scandals, the most
serious of which was the killing in April last year of Julissa Brisman, a
25-year-old masseuse from New York, in a Boston hotel. Philip Markoff, her
alleged murderer, was dubbed the Craigslist killer because he had arranged
to meet her through the site. He killed himself in jail last month.
