Remove prostitution or face criminal charges – that’s what South Carolina’s Attorney General, Henry McMaster, threatened Craigslist’s CEO, Jim Buckmaster with.

“I hope you will take immediate steps to end craigslist from being used to facilitate harmful activities in South Carolina,” wrote McMaster pointing out that prostitution is harmful to the residents of South Carolina.

Craigslist has until 5pm EST on Friday, May 15 to remove portion of the site which “allowing for the solicitation of prostitution and the dissemination and posting of graphic pornographic material, ” accessible by minors.

Like most politicians hoping to get re-elected, Attorneys General and other politicians are using the “Craigslist murder” of a prostitute or massage therapist or “A” student or whatever the PC word is, as free press for their campaigns. Newspapers have been doing this for 100′s of years and there have been many such incidents involving “A” students, I mean massage therapists. As for pornographic pictures, the same minors can easily find them on Google, hence, it is a ridiculous assertion to have one standard for one company and not the other.
