We need more of this. Big Tech and Big Left in general has enabled child sex trafficking for far too long.


The Texas Supreme Court handed down a ruling on Friday allowing Facebook and other social media platforms to be held liable for the sex trafficking of minors.

There are currently three separate lawsuits pending in the state which have been anticipating this ruling before they would be able to proceed.

According to local outlet Kiro 7, Facebook is being sued in Texas for negligence and for product liability, due to its failing to do anything to try and prevent the blatant trafficking from occurring on its platform. The legal complaint alleges that Facebook benefitted financially from such actions.

"We do not understand Section 230 to 'create a lawless no-man's-land on the internet,'" the legal opinion handed down by the justices reads, "in which states are powerless to impose liability on websites that knowingly or intentionally participate in the evil of online human trafficking."

"Holding internet platforms accountable for the words or actions of their users is one thing, and the federal precedent uniformly dictates that Section 230 does not allow it. Holding internet platforms accountable for their own misdeeds is quite another thing. This is particularly the case for human trafficking."

"Sex trafficking is abhorrent and not allowed on Facebook," a Facebook spokesperson from Facebook said in response. "We will continue our fight against the spread of this content and the predators who engage in it."

Facebook's defense in the cases had hinged around a federal provision known as Section 230, which legally shields social media companies from legal ramifications stemming from users on their sites. That did not hold water for the Texas judiciary.

Sex trafficking of minors is a huge problem in Atlanta .. fed by traffic thru Hartsville Jackson airport. The Johns are traveling businessmen.

Then Georgia needs to follow Texas, and hold Facebook and other Big Tech companies accountable for traffickers using their site to sell children.

If social media decides to be a publisher and referee of Free Speech, they must also be accountable for harm done.

That's the life they chose I suppose. Now they experience the consequences.

As for the traffickers, F those filthy dogs and their families. They deserve the full extent of the law against them.
