Craigslist swaps "erotic" for "adult", society's ills magically cured
If you're shaking your moneymaker (quite literally) via Craigslist, you've only got 7 more days before your advertisements meet with closer scrutiny. In -- yet another -- agreement with a state Attorney General (this time, Connecticut) Craigslist will remove the Erotic Services category. Replacing "Erotic" will be a services section simply called "Adult".
Craigslist says they'll employ staff to manually screen postings to the Adult section, going a step further than the last erotic countermeansure they employed, attaching identity to the Erotic Services postings by charging a small fee via credit card.
Will re-branding "Erotic Services" as simply "Adult" take the e-prostitution lightning rod away from Craigslist? Our very official scientific survey -- I shook the magic eight ball on my desk -- says "Don't count on it."

What we should look at are the prostitution laws and not websites that could be used for prostitution. Most crime attributed to prostitution is caused BY the laws to outlaw it.
Check out Happy Endings? a documentary film on Asian massage parlors in Rhode Island where prostitution is legal.

The system sees Craigslist as a cozy comunity that needs to be quaked up a bit and they desperately WANT IN using the prostitution backgate , only to spoil the fray with their shitty laws.
