Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence
Survivors of sex trafficking who were forced into drug use as victims are in need of social services to treat their drug dependency and other mental disorders.

Through analyzing the genesis and evolution of the CDA, it becomes clear that court interpretations of Section 230 are starkly inconsistent with original Congressional intent, and that the primary way to avoid de facto decriminalization …
