The Trump administration has aggressively rolled back efforts across the federal government to combat human trafficking, a Guardian investigation has found.
The sweeping retreat threatens to negate decades of progress in the drive to prevent sexual slavery, forced labor and child sexual exploitation, according to legal experts, former government officials and anti-trafficking advocates. They say the administration’s moves are impeding efforts to prosecute perpetrators and protect survivors in the United States and around the world.
“It’s been a widespread and multi-pronged attack on survivors that leaves all of us less safe and leaves survivors with few options,” said Jean Bruggeman, executive director of Freedom Network USA, a national coalition of service providers, researchers and trafficking survivors.
That’s very rare in my view, though I have seen it in one fairly prominent (at one point it was prominent) place - Boing Boing. That place took their comments behind a paywall, probably so they could make it even more of an echo chamber, lol? That was last year that they changed the comments - the old comments are still up and read-only. If you want to see a real divisive circle jerk created by mods, you can take a look yourself.
In most places, I only see conservatives or Republicans shut down in only very extreme cases. Usually it involves rape/death threats, etc. What kind of communication is that?
