The internet has become one of the preferred methods of communication for prostitution, as clients and prostitutes are less vulnerable to arrest or assault and for its convenience.〔("Sex Industry Study: Internet Is Driving Prostitution Off Streets" ). NBC News. (12 March 2014)〕〔(More bang for your buck ) ''The Economist'' 9 August 2014〕〔(Study finds prostitution now a career choice for many women in Wales ) Wales Online 19 June 2011〕〔(Prostitution in Scotland moves from the streets to the internet ) ''Daily Record'' 15 March 2010〕 ==Rise of Internet usage== Prior to about the year 2000, most off-street prostitution was advertised in the small ads in the printed press or locally on cards in newsagents or shop windows. As direct references to prostitution would not be acceptable, the ads were carefully worded with terms such as ''large chest for sale''.〔(Villains' Paradise: Britain's Underworld from the Spivs to the Krays ) Donald Thomas〕 In larger cities, tart cards were placed in phone boxes. By the year 2000, the internet, and access to it had grown large enough for some in the sex industry to see it as a marketing tool. As use of the internet has grown, so has the use of it by the sex industry.〔 In 2007 Harriet Harman, then Minister for Women, put pressure on the Newspaper Society not carry sex ads. As a result, the Newspaper Society updated its guidelines for members in 2008 effectively banning sex ads.〔(Shun sex ads, local papers urged ) BBC 11 February 2008〕 As the majority of local newspapers are members, this ban added to the swing towards the internet. Mobile devices such as smartphones have further increased the use of the internet both generally and for prostitution websites.〔(How do we use the internet and mobile devices in 2014? ) EConsultancy 7 August 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internet prostitution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
