What Craigslist Isn't Diong to Stop Sex Trafficking

I watched a video called “Critic praises Craigslist move to censor ads, calls for more info.” It was about what Craigslist is doing to stop crimes in the adult services section. Most of the illegal activity is directly linked to under aged sex trafficking. In the video it states that Craigslist is doing nothing to prevent sex trafficking of young teenagers. What I don’t understand is that the people of Craigslist have the power and resources to do something about it yet they sit and twiddle there thumbs.

Horrible things are happening to these innocent young women and nobody is doing a thing to stop it. When Craigslist has a section devoted to adult services, it is going to be abused. Many of these girls are forced into this business of prostitution against there will. The question is what should Craigslist be doing to stop this wave of crime and atrocities. People who refer to online sex trafficking sites they don’t mention anything other than Craigslist. It is also referred to as the Wall Mart of sex trafficking sites. Now, there is a blog on the Craigslist website explaining that they screen through all of the advertisements and will report any thing unusual to the authorities. But, when CNN asked inspector Brian Bray of the D.C prostitution enforcement unit; he said that they haven’t gotten any calls from Craigslist about this subject matter. That is basically lying to our face. And that makes me and a lot of people mad.

When an interview was conducted with the founder of Craigslist the reporter asked “What are you guys doing to protect these girls?” There was a pause for more than 8 seconds before another question was asked. That really shows how serious this issue is. When the simplest question was asked, he had no answer. Hundreds of thousands of profane and seductive ads since the blog post and fewer than one hundred have been reported. This makes me feel like no one at Craigslist cares about these poor teenagers. Then to try and get out of these allegations, Craigslist blames all of this on CNN and the reporter who was basically the messenger.
