Craigslist removes adult services section
By CHRISTOPHER LEONARD, AP Business Writer Christopher Leonard, Ap

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.



What's the matter, you went trolling and found you've been cut-off?
