The drama just keeps on coming from the Craigslist erotic services saga. For years, Craigslist has defended itself against accusations that its erotic services section is illegal and is full of ads for prostitutes. Earlier this spring, the battle became more serious when Illinois sheriff Tom Dart led a public attack on the site, claiming it constituted the largest prostitution ring in the United States.

Eventually, attorney generals from several states joined the movement to get Craigslist to shut down the erotic services section. And as I reported last week, Craigslist complied — eliminating the erotic services section and replacing it with a section called the adult section. Company executives said that an employee would read each ad placed in the adult section before it could go live on the site. While questions remained regarding how an organization of 28 people could manually review such an enormous volume of ads, the gesture was recognized by most of the attorneys general.
