So, in your opinion, it’s only considered human trafficking if the victim is prevented from coming and going as they please? The real experts at Homeland Security, DOJ, DOS, the UN, and numerous victims’ organizations say otherwise.
Yeah, OK, it's an opinion, backed up by common sense. Prisoners (implied by "human trafficking") are not free to come and go as they please. If they are free to come and go, they're not prisoners.
The real experts at Homeland Security, DOJ, DOS, the UN have a vested interest in "discovering" as much human trafficking as they can, and broadening the definition as much as they can, because their budgets (and hence livelihood) depend on that. Why else does _every_ spa bust have the phrase "human trafficking" in the headline? No evidence, just "it must be!".
I have no interest in continuing a forum flame war over this topic.
Nevertheless, I still think it's prudent to avoid anything like an accusation of "human trafficking" in a public forum because the abovementioned real experts are hungry for new targets to keep them busy fighting their social justice wars and justifying their budgets and head counts.
Remember the War on Drugs? Now we have the War on Spas.
