A sheriff in Illinois is suing the online ad site Craigslist, accusing its owners of knowingly promoting prostitution in the US.
... He wants a federal judge to shut down the site's erotic services section.

I totally agree with the lawsuit. Seems the same to me as a drug category selling drugs or any other illegal activity.

Craigslist may not be criminally responsible for what the people post, but they cannot enable it. The blantant nature of the section is enabling in this case.

He's taken the trouble to monitor activity over time, so it will be interesting to see their defense!

They know they're there, they started charging 5 bucks to advertise in November.
