Craigslist’s adult services section is now out of business around the world.
The ouster of the controversial section was confirmed by Craigslist to the office of Connecticut Attorney General General Richard Blumenthal yesterday, according to the Associated Press. The removal of the section from dozens of countries follows a similar action that saw it taken down in the U.S. four months ago.
Responding to the global takedown, Blumenthal called it “another another important step in the ongoing fight to more effectively screen and stop pernicious prostitution ads,” the AP reported.
