Craigslist Seeks to Combat Only Lucrative Part of Craigslist
Oh Internet, My Internet
 

Craigslist, that giant bulletin board of missed connections, apartments for rent, and drugs (if you know where to look) is taking measures to decrease the number of prostitution services on their site. The site will now charge to place ads in the erotic services section (which they couldn't just get rid of, if they were so worried?) to get the credit card information and phone numbers of people placing the ads. So far, that's dettered the sexy opportunists and ad placement has decreased by 80% as all those "sexy massage parlors" try to keep their numbers unlisted.

So from now on, only people who offer to have sex with random strangers have to do it for free, and be legit, i.e. in the name of filling up that empty void in their life that a hundred cats can't fill.
