Targeting

"And while Silicon Valley and privacy advocate Senator Ron Wyden (D‑OR) argued that a better focus would be to focus on the sex traffickers themselves (rather than the online platforms they use)"

Indeed. Lawmakers seem to veer between too-specific laws that are unusable when the technology changes and too-general laws that are abused by politicians. This seems set to be one of the former.

Is there no happy medium ?
