Have you read the article at all? Or at least scanned through the section headings? Danah doesn't claim CL is a "victim" or that "men and society in general are being held back by keeping prostitution illegal".
Please take the time and try to extract the author's gist from the article before criticizing it.
- ck2 16y agoI did read it. It's entirely too casual for me. I completely disagree that making it visible helps victims. The police know it's there, they just don't want to bother or don't have the manpower to tackle it. Instead of using the CATEGORY LABEL all they have to do is use the SEARCH ENGINE ! I literally see a few drug deals go down from my window every day. I'm pretty sure it's hard drugs. One woman is carrying a baby while she buys. I've told the police about it. All they'd have to do is watch the space for an hour they could get the dealer. But they never do anything. That is a prime example of how if it doesn't fall into their lap, police aren't going to do anything. So teach the cops to use the damn search engine on CL, you don't need an obvious category!
