Craigslist Cracks Down On Prostitution Ads
Deal With State Attorney Generals Includes Stricter Rules For "Erotic Services" Web Site Ads

(AP) Under the watchful eye of law enforcement in 40 states, Craigslist pledged Thursday to crack down on ads for prostitution on its Web sites.

As part of Craigslist's agreement with attorneys general around the country, anyone who posts an "erotic services" ad will be required to provide a working phone number and pay a fee with a valid credit card. The Web site will provide that information to law enforcement if subpoenaed.
