It was involved in 73 percent of all child trafficking cases reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The proportion of that site's activities that are related to illegal activities is completely irrelevant. It may be that 0.001% of the classifieds on Backpage were human trafficking related but if that made up even 10% of human trafficking cases this is a slam dunk success in terms of stopping human trafficking.
In related news we've been spending 7.6 billion a year on the TSA after 9.11 to prevent terrorism....
True and that's a terrible waste of money but completely unrelated to this.
It blows my mind that someone thinks allowing terrible illegal activity in the name of some mysterious concept of internet freedom is a good thing. Certainly you don't seem particularly concerned with the freedom of those being trafficked in the physical world.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoTerrorism and Human Trafficking are related in the sense that they're tiny statistical blips.. miniscule drops in the ocean of human activities. However they sound so horrible that people are perfectly willing to sacrifice massive civil liberties to stop them. They have a 'mood affililation' and will do anything to stop these activities without looking at the principles of what they're doing. I'm concerned about the freedom of those being trafficked..I just think theres other ways to help them that don't involve eroding the foundation of the free web.
