DENVER — Its a move that some feel will help cut the number of sex crimes in our community: Craigslist has now removed the adult services section from its website.
If you log on to Craigslist, you’ll see the word “censored” over the section that until recently advertised adult services. The change comes after pressure from several states amid accusations it became a marketplace for prostitution.
But will this change truly make a difference in reducing prostitution and human trafficking?
I think it remains to be seen,” said Amanda Finger, Executive Director of Laboratory To Combat Human Trafficking.
Human trafficking is when people forcibly sell another person for their own profit. Craigslist has become this open venue which you can not understand who may not be willingly posting their services or seeking their services,” said Finger.
