Google, Facebook & Youtube are keen to make money from sex trafficking (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Piscina

The largest companies in the world such as Google, Youtube and Facebook are lobbying the US government to include 'safe harbour' provisions (in the form of Section 230) in the new NAFTA agreement.

Last year Backpage was raided for alleged facilitation of sex trafficking. A California judge found that Section 230 protected the site and Backpage officials from liability. Seventy-three per cent of children trafficked in the US were bought and sold on Backpage.

Safe harbours (Section 230) allow companies to profit from human/sex trafficking while doing nearly nothing to keep it off their sites. S.230 allows companies to facilitate and profit from criminal activity. It shields web intermediaries from liability when they facilitate sex trafficking.

Google, YouTube, Facebook and others want Section 230 to be written into NAFTA so that they are protected from liability when they are making money from sex trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking and porn.

Please write to The Honorable Robert Lighthizer, United States Trade Representative, 600 - 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20508

TY. I am trying to do what I can. I have been seriously affected lately by the many articles and reports. Some too visual and I should not have opened them. I am going to come back slowly. Yes, these are scary. I have even heard a few news people making small comments after featuring these Spy Tools on their programs. They are on to it. There is a family I know and the father and son both said these are highly suspect and the father said there is no way he will allow them in the house. Wish more were so woke.
