In a country where prostitution is not illegal, how can ads for prostitution be classified illegal? Anyway, the Spanish government is all set to ban the sex adverts form appearing on newspapers. The decision may make the newspapers worry a lot as they get huge revenue from sex adverts.
President José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero says that the decision is part of a strategy to fight the people trafficking and sexual exploitation in the country.Spain, a country in which prostitution is a âbig businessâ (worth an estimated â¬18bn a year. There are about 200,000 sex workers in the country, reportedly) naturally churns out more such ads to pimp the business, and the struggling newspaper industry in the country may find it too difficult to part with the revenue.
But, the problem is, even while setting aside all the moral sensibilities, policy-centered, to a great extent. When you exhibit ads of brothels, you canât sincerely report when unfortunate incidents happening there, if any.
