Ok but you altered what I said. I didn’t say it’s now going on in a much bigger way. T

If you expand what "sex trafficking" means, you're going to include more behaviors, so there will naturally be more "sex trafficking"

Normal prostitution among adults was not "sex trafficking" until very recently. Now, every time there is a bust, it's a "sex trafficking bust".

Read this story for a recent example of how this hypervigilance ensures innocent people who aren't even involved in prostitution

Look no further than this thread for how this expanded use of "sex trafficking" implicates non-trafficking scenarios and amplifies the perceived threat.
