From April 26th
Here's a problem that I never thought about. Prostitution via Craigslist! Let me first say that I do not and never have approved of prostitution. This article really irked me. How are people getting away with this? I mean the Attorney General of Illinois, Lisa Madigan, apparently COUNTED 200,000 different sex ads. on Craigslist in one metropolitan area. Okay so what did Ms. Madigan do about it? Ummm? Lisa? You pointed fingers at Craigslist? Don't you have some power being the AG? Okay so the people who are responsible for enforcing the law are just standing around pointing fingers at Craigslist like Craigslist is the police.
Well that's obviously not the case and everyone knows it, except for the police. So here's my solution, and call me crazy, perhaps have a few members from one of America's fine law enforcement agencies keep an eye on Craiglist and when they find a prostitution ad they contact the seller and go on to arrest them? Here's another idea, have someone who reads all the ads on Craiglist to make sure nothing illegal is posted on Craiglist. I know theirs a lot of submissions but a quick overview of an ad should uncover what the ad is trying to sell.
That's not the point of this blog though, I fix problems, I point them out. So what's the problem here? Craigslist is profiting off prostitution, they obviously know it (why else would they charge for sex ads and almost nothing else?) and the only thing being done to prevent is a couple of attorney general's are writing angry letters. Punishment is in order if you think Craigslist is going to stop profiting off this.
