Filipinos protest Craigslist for adult services:

It seems that some San Francisco Filipino community leaders were very much in support of the human trafficking protest that took place in front of craigslist’s offices on 7/8/10.

“They become another channel. They become cyber pimps. The owners of Craigslist need to regulate their website,” said Alfonso Faustino, a Filipino-America candidate for California Assembly.

Rudy Asercion, executive director of the Westbay Pilipino Multi-Service Center said because of hard economic times, more and more young Filipinas — 13 to 14 year olds — roam the streets of San Francisco to sell their bodies. He said he won’t be surprised if their pimps use websites to advertise their services.

“Technology is being used to abuse these women and girls. For the rest of community, they would not care if they don’t know how bad it is. We have to let the community know,” said Asercion.

Yet craigslist and their enablers continue to act like child prostitution and human trafficking isn’t being facilitated through their site.

I have 4 years worth of posts on this blog that say otherwise.
