Craigslist cuts 'erotic service' ads in Canada

The famous ads website Graiglist has decided to cut escort services ads on all of its 55 websites in Canada. The move was supposed to restore the image of the site. There was some much sex trade through Craiglist that the owners felt that the free ads site had turned into an escort agency!



Craigslist is not the only free classified ads website on the internet and independent escort girls advertising through free ads websites will just user other sites and they will in turn become more popular for escort services.

Th escort services business has been around a lot longer than Craigslist. The fact that they have decided to stop publishing escort services ads won't make any difference in Canada or in any other country. 

In New York, Gay men and transgender women have been arrested for prostitution-related offenses based on their use of Craigslist for cruising, adult dating and commercial sexual exchanges. They will all go and advertise somewhere else.

Within 24 hours of Craigslist dumping escort service ads, other free ads websites saw a huge jump in visits to their escort service ads. It shows that the escort girls will always go and advertise their services somewhere else and punters will know where to find them. You can't regulate the sex industry by banning ads on Craiglist. There are too many men and women earning a living from this industry and too many men and women making the most of this to have a good sexy time. As an Asian escort working in London, I can testify that you block the ads on one websites but it will not stop my customers from calling me up when they want quality time.
