Craigslist 'adult services' ads disappear

Embattled online classified service Craigslist apparently made a change to its website early Saturday, censoring its adult services section.

The section that usually reads "adult services" was replaced by the word "censored."

It was not immediately clear whether Craigslist removed the adult services and replaced them with the "censored" section that had a link that was not active. But for users who accessed the account outside the U.S., the erotic services link was still active.

The website has been under fire for allegations that it promotes prostitution and sexual exploitation of children.

    This is a crock. Now the ads will just move to the personal section.

    What's the good...now I see the same thing on casual encounters, wfm mfw, etc. etc., even in the GENEAL SECTION. Give me
    a break...an old time profession always finds a way! LMAOROF! You need to wipe out all communications with anything that can suggest getting to gether. Just place regular ads, like to sell stuff and legal things, or peeps looking for legit work, handy men ,etc. This country is so stupid and all you news peeps are just as insane as the rest! LOL!! CL shouldn't even suggest a dating site, cause ya know it aint! Let the professional dating sites take care of that!

    This was great journalism. It is about getting the truth out. We need more journalists like her to step up and expose the truth. This is a plague and should be taken seriously. Her approach in my opinion iwas absolutley necessary! Well done girl!
