No, whorephobia is the basis for laws that negatively affect sex workers, human trafficking talk is just a smokescreen.
People and orgs that introduce, lobby or vote for laws that harm sex workers don't really give a fuck about human trafficking victims.

The last law they past in US to protect from "sex trafficking" was strongly advised not to be signed into law by the DOJ, FBI, and sex trafficking support orgs because it would make their jobs protecting and fighting sex trafficking harder. It literally pushed it more underground.

They dont care about sex traffickers.

Sorry, I have a disconnect here. Why would webcam performers be your source on human trafficking? What’s the assumption here? I’m asking not judging (yet). Just curious to understand the context.

I'm guessing this part is your answer:

But as was pointed out above, the basis for sex work law is more impacted by pearl clutching anti-porn advocates:

No, whorephobia is the basis for laws that negatively affect sex workers, human trafficking talk is just a smokescreen.

Modern slavery/human trafficking is mostly just forced labor. 3 times as many people are just forced to work for free for someone or a state.

"the International Organization for Migration (IOM), released Global Estimates of Modern Slavery in September 2022. This report estimates that, at any given time in 2021, approximately 27.6 million people were in forced labor. Of these, “17.3 million are exploited in the private sector, 6.3 million in forced commercial sexual exploitation, and 3.9 million in forced labour imposed by state.” The definition of forced labor used in this report is based on ILO Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), which states in Article 2.1 that forced labor is “all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily.”
