Craigslist Remains Defiant; Won't Close "Erotic Services" Section »

Posted By TechnologyExpert 7 months, 1 week ago in Science & Technology

In March, Cook County, Illinois Sheriff Tom Dart announced that his office had sued Craigslist over the websites "erotic services" section, which the sheriff said facilitates prostitution.

      Of course Craigslist is defiant. Sheriff Dart doesn't have much of a case, especially considering the fact that "erotic services" have been advertised in both mainstream and alternative newspapers for years here in Cook County. After his re-election campaign ends, we'll hear nothing more about it.

        Craigslist shouldn't change and they are under no obligation to. I haven't heard anything in this campaign against craigslist "erotic services" that recognizes or holds the people responsible for committing crime for the crimes they commit. And that is the real problem.

        Criminal will still commit the crimes they do even if you deny them the current avenues they use to execute their action.

          # an erotic person
          # giving sexual pleasure; sexually arousing

          What business does the government have here? Are they suggesting there is a healthy solution? Wonder what giving the viewers Viagra would do? After all, I heard someone in West Palm Beach threw their pills into the inter-coastal waters near Palm Beach... based on the after effects to the liver, etc. The surprising thing was, both lift bridges went up...and the operates could not get them to go back down for hours.
          How would you interpret what I said? Hugh? Don't get caught wondering what happens inside a tent that contains both a male and a female together...or cupping your ears to hear. lol

            Why put an end to such "pretty pictures"?

              There is no reason they should close it down. Sickos will chase down their targets wherever they choose to advertise - and whomever their targets are.
