Agreed we shouldn't speak so broadly, but let's not be naive here. Part of the reason California legalized adult filmmaking was to reduce trafficking.

In California they have agents, everywhere else they have pimps.

Just one example: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdca/pr/adult-film-performer-pl...



Pimps are not neccesarily traffickers.

It might be hard to digest but a large majority of people in the industry go in by choice. We should have tougher law enforcement to weed out the bad apples, but that is difficult since this isssue seems to involve two things that are extremely nebulous and difficult to weigh. Sex and morality.


> "Pimps are not neccesarily [sic] traffickers"

Right, they just use force, fraud, and coercion as they recruit, transport, and provide their victims as prostitutes. Totally different...

> "a large majority of people in the industry go in by choice"

Cool, can you share your stats that a "large proportion" of people go in by choice?


Interesting that you want stats. In the interest of science - would you be willing to talk to actual prostitutes from down the street to those on social media and platforms like only fans - to collect the data yourself. Thats within your means to do is it not?

If you are genuinely interested in the well being of prostitutes that is.

> Right, they just use force, fraud, and coercion as they recruit, transport, and provide their victims as prostitutes. Totally different...

It is different.

My point is trafficking is bigger than prostitution.


Just wondering if you had any evidence at all for your claim. You've had two chances to post it.

> It is different

Oh, did you notify the Office on Trafficking in Persons?! That's the definition they give for sex trafficking

> My point is trafficking is bigger than prostitution

Agreed! I thought your point was "a large majority of people in the industry go in by choice" though? I guess not!


precision =/= naivety

if you're going to make a strong claim like "most porn has connection to sex trafficking", you should have strong evidence to back that up
