<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Annie McAdams is waging a legal battle against Facebook, Instagram, Craig’s List and other tech companies,for allowing the sex trafficking of minors utilizing their digital platforms to lure and exploit children. Up until now, big tech has enjoyed the luxury of liability protection by hiding behind the</span> <strong>Communications Decency Act of 1996</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">(</span><strong>CDA</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">)</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">which says that media publishers are not necessarily responsible for the information they publish or disseminate. Recently, a federal court ruled that sex trafficking victims are going to have their day in court. Annie speaks about her journey from being an inquisitive child to now owning a large law firm and taking on some of the most difficult cases in the country to stop abuses of minors. Annie is a very high profile, trial lawyer taking on massive public companies to shed light on what has become a serious issue globally. We talk about how child sex trafficking is happening on social media right under our noses, in our neighborhoods and all around us.
