p2pnet view P2P:- It’s fairwell to Miss Honey on Craigslist.

:sigh:

Back in 2008 Craigslist said it’d take steps to, “prevent people from posting classified ads for prostitution and other illegal activities”.

In 2009 Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal calleds the site a ‘blatant Internet brothel‘.

So Craigslist said it would have ads individually checked before they were posted, according to CNN.

Then, “A self-described sexy, open-minded hottie wants to ‘pamper your every desire’,” the San Francisco Chronicle had Craigslist member Miss Honey saying, going on, “another poster, says she’s an eager and motivated bombshell with a beautiful bedroom”.

Now Craigslist has closed its US “adult services” segment, replacing it with a black and white “censored” bar.

But an “erotic” service is still active outside the US, says the BBC.

Stay tuned.
