Craigslist bowed to pressure from US law enforcement agencies on Wednesday and announced that it would remove the “erotic services” section from its massive classifieds advertisement website. In its place will be a new section entitled “adult services”, where each ad will cost $10, and be vetted before it is posted.
“What we’re doing here is trying to strike the best balance that we can based upon the feedback we’ve been getting over the past few weeks from a variety of parties,” said chief executive Jim Buckmaster in an interview.
