It’s weird because Craigslist got shut down for having sex workers peddling themselves. But right after that OF goes up so that sex workers can peddle themselves.

Our society is so weird.

Here’s a thought, maybe we should just legalize sex work while locking up people trafficking children and throwing the key away.

Or, as the wise sage once said, "Selling's legal, fucking's legal, why isn't selling fucking legal?"

I’m okay with legalizing individual independent sex workers.

But pimping should be illegal. And outright trafficking of anyone, adult or minor. People are not slaves.

Craigslist is a US based website.

OF is an English company.

The law that caused Craigslist to remove their “Personals” section would allow Craigslist to be held liable for any crimes committed through the site.

So, if I posted, “For Sale: Child For Sex Slavery. $100,000 OBO”, Craigslist would get charged with human trafficking and child abuse as well as me.

That’s why they removed it.

It was easier to do that than fight all the legal battles they’d get involved in.

I did not know that. Thanks!

What happens if that stuff gets posted on OF? English law handles it or …?
