'Sex trafficking' bill

dimanche 4 mars 2018 à 01:00

The House of Representatives passed the bill to censor advertisement of prostitution services on the internet.

The bill is dishonest because it uses the term "sex trafficking" to mislead people. The text I saw did not have an explicit definition of that term, but implicitly defines it — through what it actually prohibits — to mean "advertising prostitution services".

However, the term was designed to call to mind the term "human trafficking", which refers to a form of enslavement.

Any law which uses that dishonest term is a swindle and should be rejected simply for that.

Please phone your senators to oppose it.
