Craigslist recently announced it will charge for erotic service ads. Craigslist has already implemented telephone verification, which according to Craigslist’s Chief Executive Officer Jim Buckmaster has already reduced the volume of erotic services ads by 80 percent.
“Requiring phone numbers, credit cards and identifying details will provide a roadmap to prostitutes and sex traffickers - so we can track them down and lock them up,” said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in a statement issued Thursday.
