抽象:

“有很多讨论和编写了企业家教育的好处,以及早期获得这种学习的重要性。但是如何创业教育列车并激发下一代反贩运领袖?企业家精神也是如何成为预防的司机,以及人口贩运风险和幸存者的经济稳定性的源泉?目前,来自各个年龄水平的企业家和企业家培训来自各种背景,收入和情况,他们将在抗击贩运方面培养开创性的战略和解决方案。这些当前和未来的企业家还可以向政府和业务中的人提供新的观点,同时建立更有效的三部门联盟和伙伴关系,这些联盟解决了人口贩运的伙伴关系。本文探讨了企业家精神如何以及为何成为社会变革和打击人口贩运的创新的关键车辆,以及为最脆弱的人提供多种繁荣的繁荣食谱。“

Elizabeth Swanson斯旺森的题为,Freedom, Commerce, Bodies, Harm: The Case of Backpage.com,再次解决诉讼诉讼。

抽象:

This article situates lawsuits against Backpage.com in the context of changing laws and norms of sexual commerce and trafficking, and of evolving legal interpretations of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 has been used repeatedly to shield internet service providers such as Backpage.com from liability for content generated by third parties that has led to criminal harm to others; in this case, the trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of minors. Moving to a critique of the law as at times grievously detached from the realities it addresses, I compare the legal strategies and decisions in three prominent cases brought against Backpage.com in St. Louis, Tacoma, and Boston, respectively. This critique identifies the evacuation of gendered bodies and the harm done to them from the court opinions as an example of what Robert Cover has called the “interpretive violence” of the law, and of the judges who interpret and dispense it. I conclude by calling for courts and Congress to act together to disrupt the accumulation of interpretive precedent favoring freedom of commerce and speech over the protection of bodies from harm.
