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.

Now what are you going to do for a $20 handjob, WAFA?
