We could try investing in positive infrastructure that improves peoples life's in stead of creating the panopticon torment nexus. Things like third spaces where people can spend time is save spaces where they form communities and public transit so that people can get to those places. Incentivize positive behaviors instead of closing off public spaces and pricing more and more people out of being able to do anything with the minuscule amount of free time they have besides going on the internet.

That sounds like a great idea, but I think we should also try to solve human trafficking online.
Creating a surveillance state isn't going to solve human trafficing.
As the parent poster pointed out, doing nothing and pretending this doesn’t happen doesn’t fly anymore.

I guess, welcome to the middle age of tech? The part where you have to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess that you see around you.
