The app is being used by police to persecute sex workers and marks, not to find children who are victims of child sex trafficking - because child sex traffickers are not stupid enough to give their "product" to anyone who would instantly put their faces on the internet for anyone to find.

Sex trafficking is a serious issue, but Kutcher nor his company has done their due diligence and are actually helping to persecute sex workers.

I'm not saying that it was intentional, but it does make the whole supposed effort seem like it's more about optics and marketing.

And this illustrates that I’m a mark how exactly?

See, all I did was point out how everyone is so smugly up their own asses that they feel they can persecute anyone and anything to the point that no one should be bothered to try and do anything even remotely helpful- lest they be publicly shamed for not doing enough, or not doing it as the hive-mind thinks they should….

… and somehow, this makes me a mark?

Fucking hilarious.

Defending a famous, rich, rape apologist whose organization is doing more for hurting legal sex work than helping solve illegal sex trafficking is kind of mark behavior.

To me, when a person shows their true colors, I automatically need to assume their past actions had ulterior motives.
