Classified ad service Craigslist will crack down on postings advertising prostitution or “erotic services” as part of a deal with attorneys general in some 40 states.

The San Francisco business also sued 14 software and service providers, saying in part that they claim to offer help evading Craigslist’s rules about illegal activity.California was not listed as one of the 40 states in the deal.

Under new rules, anyone posting an “erotic services” ad will have to give credit card information and pay a small fee. That credit card information will be verified and given to law enforcement if required by subpoena.

Although Craigslist emphasized a crackdown on human trafficking and child exploitation in its statement, it did not reply to a request for clarification about the ratio of adult prostitution ads to those connected to child exploitation or human trafficking.

It also didn’t reply to a request about how these new rules would affect parts of its site where adults post personal ads and look for other adults to meet for sexual (or other) reasons.

Under this deal, Craigslist will put tags on erotic services ads that will show up in parental screening software. It will also make it easier for its users — some 40 million of them every month — to flag inappropriate or illegal ads so they can be taken down.

It will also look into software that might be able to block uploads of certain images and which will screen out euphemisms used for illegal advertising.

Jim Buckmaster is CEO of Craigslist. He did not reply to a call requesting comment.
