Craigslist was pressured to remove their erotic services section to their online classified ads site because it is causing a lot of disturbances and crimes over the past months and law enforcement said that the success of their pressure to Craigslist is just for a good public policy and nothing more. But, it’s not just a good public policy as it increases a political status for whoever made this happen.
And the fight rages on.
Craigslist would replace their section for erotic services with adult services that comes with a fee to whoever wants to post an ad there. Before the ad would be online, they would monitor each post to avoid any future problems and issues. Now, 2 people are saying that it was they who made this possible. Who are these 2 people? They are Lisa Madigan, the Attorney General for Illinois and Tom Dard, a Cook County Sheriff.
Lisa Madigan said that Craigslist had decided to replace the controversial category just a week after she sent them an ultimatum to either monitor their site just take it all down. Tom Dart said that because of his federal lawsuit that Craigslist had to take immediate action. Tom Dart is believed to be aiming for the attorney general position too and this would be an excellent publicity boost for him.
