Why is craiglist censored?

If you have been one of the regular users of the services on the site Craiglist, it is bad news for you to know the recent developments in this regard. Following the increased number of sex related crimes that are happening all over the globe, the craiglist adult section has been censored and stopped for the time being. One may be wondering if this is just a temporary suspension or a permanent ban. Well, no one has an answer at present about this.
All that is visible when one attempts to visit the erotic services, is a whole blank page that reads censored. The customers of craiglist services have been greatly disheartened by this development and hope that it is set right soon. The only option that can be seen at present is to wait for the services to resume on its own. If you want to know more about this there is an option to post queries about it too.
