Craigslist now requires phone verification of your account in order to post in erotic services! Nowhere else, just erotic services! Meaning, you have to give your phone number to CL and have them call you and give you a verification code in order to post. So it’s okay to publish photo ads for escort services in local newspapers… but not on craigslist?
Terms of use:
- We respond promptly to inquiries and requests for assistance from law enforcement officers
- We give periodic briefings for law enforcement officers on how to efficiently obtain information from craigslist.
A recent google search has led me to understand that this happened at least in part as a result of pressure from the abolitionist organization Love146, which led a boycott against craigslist earlier this year.
Luckily, the phone verification thing extends to ALL service categories, and lots of people are getting pissed. Maybe the legits can call this thing off.
Yeah. Fuck the police, dude.
