Erotic Services Springfield IL

Well it’s been a nice run for Craigslist, but the powers that be have finally stopped letting the pay to play players the ability to list on Craigslist. Erotic services is no longer a service allowed on Craigslist, including the one for Springfield.

This comes a  month after the killing of a masseuse who advertised on Craigslist. The classified ad site announced plans Wednesday to eliminate its “erotic services” category and screen all submissions to a new “adult services.” This they claim will clean up the prostitution services. How? I’m not entirely sure.

As, law enforcement officials praised the move as a victory against online prostitution, they acknowledged doubts about whether the changes will curb the practice.

“I’m not going to take their word for it. We want to see action,” said Dan Gallagher, an attorney representing Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, who sued Craigslist in March, accusing it of being the nation’s biggest source of prostitution.

Now let’s see if they can clean up Rants and Raves. Has anyone read some of the things said on there? Jeez.
