Red light charity
Facing pressure from state attorneys general, Craigslist has announced that it will no longer allow escorts to place ads for free. The company has responded to criticism that it would be profiting from sex by announcing that all the proceeds will go to charity.
Because as every professional do-gooder knows, giving the profits to charity makes everything OK.
I'd say more to say about this, but I have to go check out some property for my new social enterprise brothel!
UPDATE: Melissa Gira raises a key point about the ethics of charities accepting the money from these ads. Government crackdowns on sex work tend to have serious negative consequences for the health and safety of workers forced underground; enforcement efforts also tend to be discriminatory.
Should good causes benefit from harmful acts? The question is important, yet far less discussed than it should be, especially in social enterprise circles. Though occasionally it does bubble up, as in the EPA's recent decision to withdraw a proposal to allow cause marketing on pesticides.
I guess the issue is a lot more clear cut when we're dealing with insects and animals, as opposed to women who have sex with innocent men.
