‘Pimping’
The term pimping can be defined in many different ways. For instance, to ‘pimp’ something out, like a car, means to add many accessories to it. However, most people associate the word pimp with prostitution and profiting from sexual deeds.
Who would have thought of people trying to establish a pimpin business online? Not me. But it seems to be quite common when you enter internet pimpin into google. Websites such as craiglist.com and kijiji.com are some websites where people are able to post ads and messages wanting sexual encounters. There was even a case in Halifax where two people were charged with living off the profits of soliciting prostitution over the internet (Article Link). Many have also said that internet pimpin has helped individuals lure women and young girls, by saying that they will live a better life (Article Link).
This is one of the downfalls to E-business. It does provide a well foundation for a business to continue and grow internationally. However, when individuals are utilizing the internet for purposes such as these, it only hinders the motives of e-business. I am all for the use of technology to increase the profitability of businesses, but in cases such as these it should never be accepted or practiced. It will always be a hard life for a pimp!
