Craig List CEO Jim Buckmaster Blumenthal a problem with explanations.
Craig responds to the list
“In the New Haven Register, Attorney General Blumenthal has cited the words that our company earnings from prostitution. It is absolutely false and defamatory, 100% of our revenue comes from paid work offers and brokers’ Tender rental housing, “said Buckmaster.” We hope, of course, that the Attorney General was quoted incorrectly or poorly, and we look forward to an immediate withdrawal of this erroneous and harmful. ”
Blumenthal sent the letter, after several months of discussions with Craigslist, the site refused to draconian measures to curb prostitution apparent ads. The site acknowledged Blumenthal’s office, there are no employees regularly check whether such messages.
“Craig List against its own rules - the bar and illicit activities shocking content - the announcement not to remove the promotion of prostitution,” said Blumenthal. “In Connecticut alone, certain sections of the site, dozens of explicit functions, almost pornographic photographs, hourly rates and invitations to customers. Despite my office repeated requests, Craig refuses to purge such lists Postings — blockade policy and the negation of the hand.
“I am worried, especially as the list of Craig has ignored and rejected the aggravation of this problem and serious - indeed eyes, the refusal to rent or to devote to each comment messages, the response of the nudity and graphic with hourly rates, even in the “Erotic Services’ part of the site,” he said.
“The company refuses undeniable effectiveness, incomprehensible and unacceptable,” said Blumenthal. “Although the list of Craig measurement campaign on the prohibition of illegal activities and to limit or delete messages insulting in its erotic services section, an overview of these volatile section shows that his alleged solutions are clearly inadequate and miserable.”
