Chris Koster, Missouri Attorney General, wants Craigslist to prove it’s cleaned up erotic ads

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster isn’t happy with Craigslist‘s response. He’s joined attorneys general in 38 states in subpoenaing evidence that the online marketplace is keeping its promise to block ads for prostitution and other illegal activity as well as prove that it’s not profiting from the ads.

“Despite Craigslist’s promises, advertisements for illegal activities

like prostitution appear to be as prominent as ever,” Koster said in a

statement. “It is time for Craigslist to provide evidence to us that

they have put procedures in place to prevent the selling of illegal

activities through their site. Attorneys General from around the nation

demanded changes in how Craigslist does business, and we intend to hold

them accountable.”
