Does the Member agree that one of the most disgusting things that we have learned from CARE's findings and our work in the all-party group on modern slavery and sexual exploitation has been that, on those sites, one user and one account can actually advertise hundreds of profiles? They are literally set up not just to facilitate trafficking but to profit from it. It is absolutely disgusting and wrong.
