Craigslist removes adult services section
Saturday, September 4, 2010 20:05This screen shot made on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2010 shows the opening page of Craigslist’s website for Hartford, Conn., featuring a “censored” logo over what used to be the adult services section. Craigslist apparently closed the section two weeks after 17 state attorneys general demanded it be shut down. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one of the AGs who pressed for the change, said in a written statement that he welcomed the change and was trying to verify Craigslist’s official policy going forward.

(AP) — Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal fight over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section Saturday and replacing it with a black bar that simply says “censored.”
