Huge police databases armed with Amazon’s facial recognition are harvesting online sex ads of exploited children and consenting sex workers alike.finds that even when wielding a mass surveillance arsenal, cops can and do fail to keep sex workers and trafficking victims safe.issing for over a week and alone, 14-year-old runaway Jessie made the call to her parents from the Red Carpet Inn, a two-story peach and maroon anomaly juxtaposed with gray freeway and a plain white gas station in Lima, Ohio.
“If you get one phone number, or one picture of a girl who is being trafficked, you’re never going to run out of new leads,” they said. Not everyone is so enamored. While the companies cite their work in rescuing victims of child sexual abuse and trafficked adults, Spotlight and its rivals are, by their nature, harvesting vast amounts of information about the marginalized consenting sex worker community from publicly posted ads and sex trade forums, often without their knowledge.
Emily Wyatt, director of counter human trafficking initiatives at TellFinder maker Uncharted Software, said the company carefully vets law enforcement users and only those with a mandate to investigate human trafficking are allowed to register. She declined to provide detail on how the tool could be limited to such use cases, saying it was proprietary information.
Ultimately, all that surveillance failed to protect her from the man who assaulted her. It also failed to protect three others associated with the suspected trafficker, one of whom was beaten up so badly, she’d lost vision in one eye, the FBI said.
