Craigslist attempts to limit prostitution ads

MP3 - iTunes


Popular online classified ad site craigslist has introduced new rules aimed at reducing ads placed by prostitutes and pimps. The San Francisco company is now charging a small fee and requiring credit card verification for postings in the "erotic services" section of the site. Advertisers must also supply a working phone number. Craigslist promises to donate revenue generated from ads to charity.
