@Letsdothis3, I am away from my computer. Is there any evidence of a link to child sex trafficking among all this? If not, this needs to go in v/pizzagatewhatever. If so, please spell it out at the top of the post. Thanks.

I've added the comment from @think- and hopefully, the post now satisfies the rules.

Just a quick reminder of the tech links Polaris Project guides victims to freedom with Salesforce

Polaris Project, an organization dedicated to combating human-trafficking and modern-day slavery, wanted to increase their social impact by improving the speed and quality of its responses to human trafficking situations as well as its understanding of the issue through analysis of data collected from multiple programs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_Project

Polaris is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that works to combat and prevent modern-day slavery and human trafficking. For the past 10 years, Polaris has run the National Human Trafficking Hotline, working on some 40,000 cases of trafficking.

Polaris is one of the few organizations working on all forms of trafficking, including supporting survivors who are male, female, transgender people and CHILDREN, US citizens and foreign nationals and survivors of both labor and sex trafficking.[8] In April 2013, Polaris Project launched their Global Human Trafficking Hotline Network to connect with international anti-trafficking organizations running hotlines and coordinate efforts.

Polaris runs the national hotline.

[The subverse PIZZAGATETNT was set up two years ago to study the infrastructure of child trafficking and transportation of abuse victims. I have a personal belief that's how we will take down the network... not by focusing on individual cases but by calling out the people who set up and run the systems. By ignoring the macro perspective, we play into the controllers' hands and allow them to get away with their crimes.]

Another relevant vost post : Airbnb and POLARIS (creator of the National Human Trafficking Hotline) have teamed up to fight against traffickers before they turn rentals into "pop-up brothels". Uh Oh.....

Thought I'd go a bit further and give you a quote: "In public, including on Twitter, Salesforce boasted about fighting human trafficking using its data tools. " We've always understood 'human trafficking' to include 'child trafficking', right?

"We've always understood 'human trafficking' to include 'child trafficking', right?

No, early on the board was flooded with generic trafficking submissions that had nothing to do with kids, so that was made very specific in the ruleset. We can, of course, change the ruleset if the community wants to, but it will mean we have to leave stuff up that is more general and possibly open the door to forum sliding.

I get what @think- is saying about the suit actually referencing child prostitution via Backpage. My problem is, I don't understand what Salesforce is, or what it had to do with Backpage. This is one of those submissions that has so much incidental stuff attached to it, it was not easy to see how it satisfied Rule 1.

If you could add a sentence at the beginning quoting where the lawsuit itself references the abuse of minors, that would be perfect. Think- found that in one of the links you already have.

@Vindicator ma be I'm too close to this because I've been following Salesforce for a long time re Pizzagate and I thought the links in the post were sufficient, but if you think otherwise I don't have a problem with you deleting this - as I strongly suspect future news will validate my links :-)

No, please don't delete! That's important info!

You might want to add the info in my comment below. . Although I think we discussed Backpae and underage trafficking already numerous times, so imo the headline suffices to point out the v/pizzagate relevance.

But I'm not a mod anymore.

Quote from the court document -

85.

Backpage was the leading online marketplace for commercial sex and sex trafficking.

86.

The National Association of Attorneys General aptly described Backpage as a “hub” of “human trafficking, especially the trafficking of minors.”

(see first link in OP)

while the age of Jane Does 1-50 is not given in the document, the lawsuit alleges that salesforce facilitated both the trafficking of minors and adults.
