Official: Craigslist to replace ‘blatant Internet brothel’

Full Story At  CNN.com

The popular classified-ad Web site, which Blumenthal called “a blatant Internet brothel,” has been accused by law enforcement officials across the United States of promoting prostitution through its erotic ads.

“Craigslist is heeding our clear call for conscience and common sense, sending a strong signal that Internet sites must police themselves to protect others,” Blumenthal said.

Craigslist representatives met in New York last week with Blumenthal and the attorneys general of Missouri and Illinois, all of whom asked the company to shut down its “erotic services” sections in their states.
