Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal fight over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section Saturday and replacing it with a black bar that simply says "censored."
The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren't enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It's not clear if the closure is permanent, and it appears to only effect ads in the United States.
The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist. Critics have likened the services to virtual pimping, while Craigslist maintained the site was carrying ads even tamer than those published by some newspapers.
Like many other free online forums, Craigslist typically does not review ads before they are posted by users. But in 2008, under pressure from 40 state attorneys general, Craigslist began requiring posters to provide a working phone number and pay a fee for placing an ad in what is now the adult services section. Several months later, Craigslist adopted a manual screening process in which postings are reviewed before publishing.
State officials believe Craigslist is still not doing enough to stop illegal ads from appearing.
The company said Saturday it would issue a statement on the matter, though it didn't say when.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one of the 17 attorneys general who pressed for the change, said in a statement that he welcomed the change and was trying to verify Craigslist's official policy going forward.
In an Aug. 24 letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn't adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.
Authorities point to the case of 24-year-old Philip Markoff as a prime example of the dangers posed by Craigslist services. The former medical student was accused of killing a masseuse he met through the hugely popular classified advertising site, which was founded by Craig Newmark. Markoff committed suicide in the Boston jail where he was awaiting trial.
Craigslist's adult services section carried ads for everything from personal massages to a night's companionship, which critics say veered into prostitution.
Craigslist's CEO Jim Buckmaster said in a May blog posting that the company's ads were no worse than those published by the alternative newspaper chain Village Voice Media. He cited one explicit ad which included the phrase: "anything goes $90."

Dude,
Next time post the link and maybe the first sentence, taking up the FF for this is a waste of space.

Now that Craiglist is a no go are you going to revamp the threads?? Maybe you can replace them with CV? Might just up the memberships.

Seems though the news has nothing to report on since they have run this story nearly a dozen times this weekend!
It's the only thing to report since they discovered that the craigslist adult section was the root of all crime in America. Now that all the crime has been rooted out and destroyed the mainstream media can only report on bad things or on how wonderful our glorious leader is, so that that leaves them nothing to do except rerun old reports.

Prohibition didn't work and neither will this. Now I see adds popping up even more on other free sites!! Way to go America!!! What about the real criminals?
I'm around for some fun today.
I'm around the rest of the week and weekend too, if anyones interested, Pm me and I'll get back to you :) Enjoy!
Well Att Gen Rich Blumy and others got their wish and as we all know CL put the Censored word on the Adults section. Now they are acting upset at being mocked by CL with the Censored word. I hope somebody files a lawsuit at their illegal coercive actions. Jerks, I wish they would spend their time protecting me from people with guns like I am paying them too, instead spending all of my tax money on keeping people from peacefully having sex behind closed doors or harmlessly smoking pot.
The real threat of course is the unconstitutiona prohibition on prostitution and worse is the unconsitutional restriction of freedom of speach we just witnessed. None of the adult adds were even technically illegal because I never saw one where a person was explictly soliciting money for sex. And believe it or not, some ladies are actually looking for sex partners with the benefit of a few $, so how does that differ from a personal add for marriage? lol, should we make marriage illegal? it is after all sex for money in most cultures and ours is no exception.
Well they may have done us all a favor, more adds will go to other sites with better search features, for example the ability to identify the poster id, so you can see where they posted before, and if they are consistently posting as the same person, or more often a pimp type posting adds for many girls. Should make it easier for us to shop. Thank Rich.

[quote]Dangerous CT ex-member (threats,etc) - please read
As some of you may be aware, local and traveling providers as well as CT hobbyists have been targeted, harassed, threatened , and generally terrorized by a mentally unbalanced individual on this board (and off board via Email) since around March of this year.
It would have been very easy, as some have suggested, for us to ban this person and consider the matter done and out of our hands. But that would not really have 'solved' the dilemma facing other people. Rather than taking the easy way out, or sticking our head in the ground, we decided to stealthily pursue the matter.
Through many months of due diligence, patience, painstaking research, and blinding determination, a large group of active board denizens in conjunction with XXXXX and a few outside "fixers" in VERY high places in the State of CT took it upon themselves to uncover this individual, confront him, expose him, and put an END to his nonsense.
Be forewarned that harassment, threats, and extortion will NOT be tolerated anywhere on XXXXX. There is no place for them here, and we will take whatever actions are necessary to protect our members and especially the ladies of our XXXXX community. This is a "happy place" where we talk about girls, guys, and our sexual escapades while politely sharing information among ourselves. It is NOT a place to stir up nonsense and start trouble that spills over into peoples personal lives. If you think you can hide behind an internet alias, proxies and remailers, think again. There are some VERY smart and extremely industrious members of our community, and we WILL find you if you threaten any of our members.
This person has posted on our boards mainly as ej2008, elmcityhustler, happymonger, cumtome, and wildhorse1729 (among others). He has also had a few fake "provider" user names, such as Stefanie123, and lovelyloretta. With "Lovely Loretta," he went as far as starting a fake provider website to try and capture personal information of those who filled out the contact form. He has also been known to write fake Craiglist ads in hopes of getting the personal information of those who responded.
He has stalked and terrorized providers, going as far as calling one in her hotel room, and attempting to terrorize her with a "voice changer." We think he was most likely staking out hotel parking lots in Stamford looking for out of state license plates.
His TER member name is jaysun23456. He also uses this alias on XXXXXX, Sip-Sap (He is most likely our Sip-Sap culprit as well), and among other hobby related websites.
Jaysun23456, ej2008, and ejrei appear to be his main aliases on dating websites and other websites as well. So far, he has used his same user names as Yahoo Email addresses almost exclusively.
Although we never post real names on our site, since this person has a criminal record that is extremely relevant to provider safety, we urge all CT providers and those traveling to CT to contact us for more details about this individual. We will also be sending out a link to this post to all providers registered on our site.
Unfortunately, although the most serious, this is not the only case of people trying to ‘out’ people, or threatening providers. We will continue to do what we can to make sure everyone is as safe as possible and that such people are confronted and removed from the site.
Staying silent and refusing to help in cases like this only aids the ‘bad guys’. You could be the next victim!
Thanks to ‘The Team’ and everyone who cooperated in this matter.
