    Prediction: It’ll be helping police arrest consensual sex workers at a higher rate than it helps abused children. In jurisdictions where police are paid off by organized crime, it will help organized pimps (who actually do sex trafficking) thwart competition from the consensual market.

      I’m sure it will. The problem is that instead focusing on that issue, the article is mostly melodramatic bandwagon bullshit.

      The article contains less journalism than it does pearl-clutching and veiled tsks about actors.

      Again, insincere.

      If the article is about the threat of illegitimate police use of a legitimate and useful law enforcement tool saving children, make the article about that, rather than title it with a facetious question tied to the latest media punching bag irrelevant to any meat in the story.
