The social job-networking website LinkedIn recently changed its privacy policy and user guidelines to include a ban on advertising prostitution-related services — even in places where prostitution is legal.

Users are now forbidden from “creating profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution,” regardless of where they live, states the new user agreement.

“Female escorts” and “call girls” were among the possible categories of employees on LinkedIn,  reports ReadWriteWeb.

One job seeker, for example, boasted on his profile that he is “Specializing in ALL NUDE, full body massages, prostate massages, friendly/discreet services, and can usually host or travel.”
