Craigslist cracks down on prostitution, illegal activities

In a pact with more than 40 states and territories, Craigslist is taking steps to prevent people from posting classified ads that can facilitate prostitution, human trafficking, child exploitation and other illegal activities.

Read LA Times article here.

This cop out from craigslist will rob me multiple giggles while perusing the 'casual encounters' page. (And by the way, the actual definition of peruse is to read through with thoroughness and care.) I'll also have to find a new online outlet for my global prostitution ring. Fuck.

But on a serious note, it's pretty upsetting to see craigslist working and communicating so closely with law enforcement. Takes away from the mission and charm of the website. My 2 cents.

Weak, although it seems like it was inevitable.
