I am looking for people to write a recipe for how to connect to the WiFi in a New York City subway station without running its nonfree Javascript code. The recipe could include a free Javascript program I could run, or it could consist of instructions for what I would type into IceCat (our variant of Firefox). It doesn't have't be super convenient, it just has to work.

"Sex trafficking" is a weaselly term. Nominally it means forcing people into prostitution, but I've seen articles which seem to use it to include voluntary prostitution (which is, after all, trafficking in sex). Those articles try to take our proper condemnation of enslavement and misapply it to prostitutes in general.
The distinction between prostitution and enslavement is crucial, so we should reject any terms that blur the distinction, such as "sex trafficking". Laws should not use that term.
The article also uses the term "content" which treats publications as a fungible substance or commodity. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html.
