Freedom United warns traffickers groom children on social media

Anti-trafficking organisation Freedom United is warning that human traffickers are using social media platforms to groom and sell children, while major technology companies avoid legal accountability. The group says Section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act allows platforms to evade liability for hosting content that enables trafficking, and is calling attention to gaps in US law that leave children unprotected online.
Why now: Renewed scrutiny of tech platforms' legal immunity under Section 230 and their role in child exploitation is driving concern among human rights advocates.
