Craigslist Fires Back at SC Attorney General

Craigslist Fires Back at SC Attorney GeneralCraigslist is set to shut down its "erotic services" section, in light of all the controversy clouding the online ad company. However, few days after Craigslist’s decision, CEO Jim Buckmaster fires back at South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster and demands an apology.
 

McMaster vehemently condemned Craiglist for tolerating and promoting prostitution on the web. The Attorney General clamored for the immediate removal of the section, stating his department will fight tooth and nail against Craigslist’s top ranks should they refuse give in to his demands. 

 

Craigslist CEO said McMaster should "reconsider and retract" his comments, describing them as "unreasonable and unfair." Buckmaster claims there are other sites or media firms who host even more loud ads who should be looked into. He also questions the extent of McMaster’s move against the company. 

 

"Have you fully considered the implications of your accusations against Craigslist?  What’s a crime for Craigslist is clearly a crime for any company. Are you really prepared to condemn the executives of each of the mainstream companies … that feature such ads as criminals?" Buckmaster asks.
