The Attoneys General have managed to badger Craigslist to close their Adult Services section. At least for now. Of course less scrupulous sex workers can simply use the dating sections.
Craigslist has never been the only website allowing sex workers to solicit customers. Merely the best known. And possibly the best policed.
Prostitutes wanting to sell their services can advertise of myriad dating, alternative lifestyle and classified advertising sites. Their ads will appear perhaps on more sites than before. Customers wanting to hire them will look hard enough to find them.
So the change at Craigslist will have little practical effect. A few politicians can pat themselves on the back.
“Will people be able to find these ads online? The answer is almost certainly,” he said. “Will they be able to find these on legitimate sites? I think the answer is probably not.”

Really women who want to sell their bodies should be allowed to.
