Why does Craigslist bear the responsibility for making sure underage girls aren't exploited? Doesn't that responsibility ultimately lie with law enforcement and the folks actually committing crimes?
Then there is the whole argument about whether the criminalization of prostitution (as opposed to regulation) makes it that much easier for young girls to be victimized in the first place.
The point being. This is complicated stuff. What about the consenting adults who have used the adult sections of Craigslist to great effect?
I would have no issues with conscience if I ran Craigslist.
- pyre 16y agoThis. Why doesn't local law enforcement just use Craigslist as an easy way to find these people and put them behind bars? It's not like these things are being broadcast to a select group of people in a back{room,alley}. They are being broadcast to the world on a public forum. Law enforcement can just search the ads, arrange meetups with the people and bust them. It's not like these people will stop doing what they are doing because Craigslist prevented them from posting an ad.
