Right. In the case of phone-operated sex trafficking I don't think amplification is even an option. It's not like phone companies are deciding what phone calls you should be receiving today and are lining them up for you to take part in. So they don't involve algorithmic manipulation (or optimization for engagement), unlike Facebook or other social media. In my parent post I was giving an example of an absurd imaginary situation with phone companies attempting to amplify sex trafficking by directly deciding who will participate in the conversation for the purpose of increasing engagement.
