Freedom United does more to save kids and victims of trafficking, stalking, extortion, and exploitation than SESTA and FOSTA ever did. Groups like NCOSE and Covenant Eyes, along with Exodus Cry and Collective Shout proclaim that they want to end exploitation, but they support all the systems that make exploitation not only possible but legal. Law enforcement is not regulated in regards to how it handles sex trafficking cases. But law enforcement officials are more likely to traffic victims than any other demographic. NCOSE has not addressed this problem, or perhaps they don't know this. They would know if they simply asked victims of trafficking what happened, rather than allowing them to also be prosecuted due to the nature of what they were involved with. Sex trafficking victims and sex workers who are abused are incarcerated, despite being victimized, because they are sex workers. This stigma against sex and sexual expression creates more victims who are again abused by a system they were told to trust to prosecute their abusers. A better system needs to be made. Hold law enforcement accountable for the CSAM they distribute, the victims they traffic, hold states accountable for child marriages, the clergy for the kids they abuse. Don't punish the Internet --these systems were in play before it existed at this scale.
