this is the result of 18 attorneys general bullying them incessantly with dubious legal standing but a whole lot of time to waste taxpayer money. i imagine they added the censored banner rather than just removing it to make a statement of sorts. they weren't legally obligated to, they're probably just sick of being in court all the time.

A common phrase in the articles "Bad news for Craigslist users who like to peruse the Erotic Services Adult Services section of their site." is sort of wrong. Not that I back prostitution, but it probably hurts the sex workers the most, as far as getting income. The Johns can always surf the internets for their needs.

Still not understanding why prostitution is illegal.

It's bullshit of course and like I said just open any paper and what do you see? Dozens of ads for "escort services." Hmmm, I wonder where they will "escort" me to:)

Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't Selling fucking legal?

CL sex ads should be a goldmine for local police prostitution stings. Just pose as an escort, meet some Johns, negotiate a price and nail em.
It's a win/win for police. They get their stats up, make some money and soon enough hookers will stop posting on CL. Problem solved.

Time to go to Canada where people are still free to do as they wish as long as the aren't hurting others. fucking america conservatives! once again make it legal and taxable income.
or just go to a rub and tug

To add to the hypocrisy even more, how did we decide it was OK in Nevada but not elsewhere? If the whole thing is religiously motivated, it doesn't seem like allowing it in one state is going to spare you from damnation...:)

it's a complete shame that any website will censor their users because their ideas differ from their own.

Funny how the democrats keep playing ball with the religious right like they did with big oil deep drilling. Of course Obama coming up on November elections is faced with a big decision with the Moslem youth center. I mean an easy one for me but he will fold of course. Once again this will come back to haunt then at election time. CL should keep fighting. This was a victory although small against net neutrality and the internet being free and open from any government regulation. Just like the religious right got rid of analog television. Funny how analog airwaves were given to the police and fire but the newer technology was given to the media.
Everyone needs to visit congress.org and fight back!

So it's back? Great, I go see if I can score some coke in the Health Supplements section and then head over to Personals...

So when did they pass a law saying it was illegal to advertise for adult services on the internet? Does anyone have the context for the entire thing?
