CL itself explicitly says that for adult services, they have a manual review process for each ad that includes reading the ad, verifying a credit card, and placing a phone call to the number used to place the ad. They are not trying to get by on common carrier status.
The criticism is that these measures don't seem to be sufficient, that coordination with law enforcement has been piecemeal at best, and that CL does not invest more (or all) of the profit from these ads back into anti-trafficking measures.
- kelnos 16y agoYeah, good point. That invalidates the second half of my argument. I wonder though about the interview segment with the law enforcement guy. Wouldn't they prefer CL just post everything and not vet the posts for possible illegal activities? I mean, think about it: it's a public forum where people are willing to outright advertise the illegal activities they're willing to provide. It sounds like a law-enforcement wet dream.
