Salesforce Sued For Sex Trafficking... Because Backpage Used Salesforce's CRM
from the oh-come-on-now dept
In the latest insane lawsuit regarding the internet and sex trafficking, a group of women who were tragic victims of sex trafficking have decided not to sue those responsible for trafficking them... but online customer relationship management (CRM) provider Salesforce.com. What? Huh? Why? You might ask? Well, apparently it's because everyone's favorite sex trafficking bogeyman, Backpage.com, used Salesforce.com for its CRM. Yup.
While most of the reports on this don't show the lawsuit, CNBC thankfully posted a copy (though it's locked up in Scribd, so we can't embed our own version, unfortunately). The lawsuit makes a bunch of leaps to argue that Salesforce is somehow magically responsible for people doing illegal things on Backpage. The levels of separation between the criminal actions and the liability here are simply ridiculous. Much of the lawsuit tries to suggest that because Salesforce is good at its job in customizing its offerings to its customers, that's proof that it's magically responsible for sex trafficking:
In public, including on Twitter, Salesforce boasted about fighting human trafficking using its data tools.
But behind closed doors, Salesforce’s data tools were actually providing the backbone of Backpage’s exponential growth.
Salesforce didn’t just provide Backpage with a customer-ready version of its data and marketing tools. Salesforce designed and implemented a heavily customized enterprise database tailored for Backpage’s operations, both locally and internationally.
With Salesforce’s guidance, Backpage was able to use Salesforce’s tools to market to new “users”—that is, pimps, johns, and traffickers—on three continents.
Backpage could also use Salesforce’s custom tools to remarket to those pimps, johns, and traffickers who had been underusing its trafficking services.
It is inconceivable that the technologies used world-round to manage customer and marketing databases would be put to the immoral and illegal purposes engineered by Backpage and Salesforce.
It should not be our tax dollars, charities, and churches that carry the burden of the catastrophic harms and losses to sex trafficking survivors. That responsibility should fall to companies like Salesforce, that have facilitated and profited from sex trafficking.
Incredibly -- and obnoxiously -- the complaint uses Salesforce's own efforts to help in the fight against sex trafficking against the company. It highlights some of Salesforce's promotional efforts, concerning the fight against sex trafficking, such as this tweet:
And uses that as proof of "knowledge" by Salesforce:
Salesforce knew the scourge of sex trafficking because it sought publicity for trying to stop it. But at the same time, this publicly traded company was, in actuality, among the vilest of rogue companies, concerned only with their bottom line.
The entire assumption underlying the lawsuit is this: that Backpage was only used for illegal sex trafficking and that using CRM can help you increase your "sales," and thus Salesforce is responsible for Backpage increasing sex trafficking. That... is quite the twisted logic there.
The lawsuit was filed in California state court, rather than in federal court, under California state laws -- so there's no direct reference to FOSTA as far as I can tell. However, FOSTA casts its looming shadow over this case. Normally, I imagine that Salesforce would make a straight CDA 230 argument here that it's not responsible for the actions of its users (in this case, Backpage). But, FOSTA potentially takes that away. I say potentially, because based on my reading of the final version of FOSTA, (which is now CDA 230(e)(5)), for a civil lawsuit, FOSTA only exempts cases brought under federal sex trafficking law, and not state laws (for criminal complaints, FOSTA exempts some state sex trafficking charges). So, as plead, I'm not sure if FOSTA even directly applies -- meaning potentially Salesforce could perhaps try to claim that it's still protected by CDA 230 and the FOSTA additions don't help the plaintiffs, but... who knows? Now that we've got this new untested law, I guess we'll find out.
On the whole, though, what a preposterously silly lawsuit. Sex trafficking is a truly horrible thing, and while the complaint filed trots out a bunch of debunked and exaggerated stats about just how big a problem sex trafficking is, the real focus should be on those actually responsible. Going after the CRM provider of a website that traffickers may have used, feels like yet another example of what we've called a Steve Dallas lawsuit after the 1986 Bloom County strip in which lawyer Steve Dallas explains that after getting beaten up by Sean Penn for trying to take a paparazzi photo, he decides not to sue any of the obvious parties, but rather go after the camera manufacturer -- because that's who has the money (click through for the full comic):

Believe the women! -- Unless suing San Fran based tech giants.
Masnick calls Backpage a "user" of Salesforce. That's simply not true. It was a customer / client.
CDA 230 has NOTHING to do with that BUSINESS relationship.
Whether the suit succeeds or not, Masnick has intentionally slanted this in dishonest way. As usual.
https://on-the-importance-of-horizontal-rule-dividers-to-teh-internets.com
So, took you a day to recover from yet another loss. A big one. And all you came up with is to start yet again trying to prove that you were/are right all along and opponents are evil. -- Ever notice that you and pirates are consistently losing? That your notions on law just don't hold up in real court? When are you going to re-think your whole schtick here? When are you going to admit that almost everything you believe just isn't popular enough to draw more than a couple dozen fanboys out in the 270 some on the EU loss, and they do nothing but whine in between ad hom-ing the one valiant AC?
In last couple weeks, your only real victory is to take away the horizontal rule from me!
(To try and forestall, NO, Masnick had nothing to do with Rightscorp conviction, and by the way, ACs are lying about that: out_of_the_blue called for those lawyers to be HANGED. Lies are all there is to Techdirt.)

I go to a Ford dealership and ask for custom vehicles tailored to functioning as taxicabs.
The Ford dealership provides the vehicles and advice on how to use them as taxicabs.
I then make my taxi service easy for bank robbers to use, and knowingly assist a few bank robbers in making a getaway.
The Ford dealership is now guilty of committing or abetting bank robbery.
Wait, no it's not. I am. I got a legitimate service from the Ford dealership and used it for illegitimate means. I'm the guilty party.
The only way in which it becomes illegal for them is if the Ford dealership definitively knew of my illegitimate intentions (not just suspected, not just thought it likely, but had proof of it or a confession from me) and still assisted me.

Not according to Baghdad Bob. According to him Ford is to blame.
And every major label or studio in hollywood is by the same argument culpable for the abuse committed by Cosby, Kelly, Weinstein, etc, and therefore, according to Baghdad Bob/Bobmail/Blue/Jhon needs to shut down at once.
And everyone astroturfing/defending on behalf of those worthies is similarly culpable since they stand similarly accused of aiding and abetting.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:wait
No, it's really not.
Backpage, aside from it's sex work section was no different than Craigslist. And actually, even Craigslist had a sex work section until they were pressured into removing it.
So while you can make the argument that SalesForce helped them configure it for the specific use of a classified listing service, you can't make the argument that they specifically helped them design it to market to sex workers and pimps.
The Ford analogy still applies since Ford helped them configure the purchased vehicles specifically for use as taxis. The fact that the purchaser then went out and used the taxis for a bank robbing getaway service is completely outside of Ford's control.

There is no believing about it, it's stated right there in their filing. The problem is, there is absolutely no merit to it. You literally can't claim that because they weren't designing it as a sex worker site. They were designing it for an entirely different purpose. The fact that it could be used to advertise sex work is irrelevant.
He is, it's not, and they don't. The law says they don't.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:wait
"It's more like you go to Ford and ask them for help configuring a vehicle to be used in armed robberies."
So someone goes to Ford and asks them for help configuring a car to be equipped with a heavy-duty engine, a few extra gears for governing acceleration, roll bars, an extra sturdy chassis, and plenty of rooms for people and objects.
Ford provides them with their sturdier version of a SUV.
And this, in your book, would render ford liable as an accessory to bank robbery. You just can't stop digging even after you've hit rock bottom, can you, Baghdad Bob?
There's such a thing as dual use - it's what allows crowbars and hammers being fully legal despite their extensive use among burglars, screwdrivers being legal despite their utility in shanking people, sugar and saltpeter being legal despite the fact that you can use them to build potent bombs...the list goes on.
And a CRM system used to facilitate communication is fully legal even if criminals occasionally like to use the same tech everyone else does.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
"but it would be closer if Microsoft supplied developers to the mob and the mob outlined their business practices so that Microsoft could develop an application tailored to them."
They don't of course.
Neither does Salesforce. or Oracle, SAP, or anyone else.
What they do is supply a license for software, and a fast dip into a consulting pool of available technicians working on a consultant basis who are familiar with the system in question.
So your analogy fails because what really happens is that the mob sends or retains an independent or internal consultant accountant and an excel expert who then go to MS and ask for a product tailored to a specific set of specifications.
MS supplies that product, the retained consultant tailors the product to fit the specifications of the end customer, and it ends with a 100% watertight compartment between MS and the end customer.
In other words your analogy is made of false assumption and a desperate wish that dual-use technology should not exist.

Re: Re: Re:
"If the women can show that Salesforce knew about shenanigans at Backpage, what can you write then? "
Assuming the OP is even halfway correct we can already say outright that salesforce did not know.
Unless salesforce has somehow in the last ten years deviated completely from normal business practice at high risk and threat to themselves. Because NO CRM provider wants to know the business of their customer - if they did any bank using their system would have to admit confidential details had become known to 3rd parties. And there's just no NDA which is "secure" enough when that 3rd party is some ad-hoc-employed consulting technician from China who happened to be working on a CRM installation that particular month.

Re:
"Salesforce wasn't just a CRM provider..."
Actually yes. Yes, they are. all SalesForce ever does is provide a communications environment. It's what they do.
"their employees also worked on the site directly."
Obviously if you link a communications system into a database you work on said database. And there are multiple ways every company purchasing a CRM ensures the provider of the CRM doesn't get to see any relevant data. This is actually a business requirement as a salesforce technical team, even under an NDA, still needs to hold themselves from finding out business secrets.
That's the only way any bank, oil company, retailer, or independent business would EVER want to trust a CRM provider.
But it gets better still - usually the CRM provider itself also employs technicians from a 3rd party to perform actual installs simply because retaining techs on consultant basis is far cheaper and more convenient than having skilled techs on permanent retainer. This is why support of IT systems is also divided into levels where you only end up talking to the actual CRM/DB provider once an issue has escalated to the highest level. For normal installation and support the guys you talk to are from IBM, accenture, wipro, or other cubicle farm specialists.
"The details will come out in court and there's a chance that Mike's post here isn't going to age particularly well."
The details will no doubt come out and pot odds are excellent that it will turn out the only information "salesforce" has is the name of the customer, the vat number, and the identity of the technical team trusted by the customer to perform the installation of the licensed software.
Mike's post will age far better than that comment of yours where the one thing highlighted is that you haven't a clue what a CRM is, who owns it, how it's installed and tested, or how a business is run today.

Re: Re:
This is where the product is responsible for enabling the hideous grey area of when. Honestly, I don't see the problem if Salesforce and other CRM providers (Odoo partners at Techloyce) didn't provide Backpage with specific provisions other than what another customer gets. I know it's pretty controversial — perhaps it's fine, it's emerging. I would like to see some evidence that the SF account team from Backpage knew what they were doing, and deliberately helped them, followed by a proper punishment for the people involved. If not, I don't see Salesforce as more responsible than their automaker or food manufacturer.

Yup. Far from encouraging sites to combat sex trafficking the 'knowledge' aspect of the law actively encourages ignorance(whether real or feigned), because your best defense is an argument that you had no idea any of it was happening, and thereby aren't liable.

In her new book Invading the Darkness: Inside the Historic Fight Against Sex Trafficking in the United States, former Congresswoman Linda Smith, R-Washington, describes how she first encountered girls and women kept as captives in brothels in Mumbai, India.
Touching the face of a child no older than 11, condemned to endless assault by men using her body, Smith committed herself to combating the phenomena of international sex trafficking. She started Shared Hope International in 2000 as a faith-based nongovernmental organization providing shelter and services for survivors abroad.
But “I was missing something essential,” she told Catholic News Service. “Something that made my blood run cold. The fact that child trafficking was happening in our own neighborhoods. I had a global view, not realizing this was a domestic issue too.”

Who knows about the Abused Wife, solution that gets Women OUT of the situation?? get them out and SOLVE the problem(s)..
They Keep pointing to 1 Problem in all this. There are OTHERS.
do you think its Just a Boyfriend taking advantage and selling the girls... THAT is a risky business,..
Is it possible that SOMETHING happened at home that caused the person to Run away??
EVERYTHING here points to TEENS.. And I would Hope that the parents are DOING the right things, which isnt easy. BECAUSE HORMONES SUCK... And I think we need a Fair solution to What teens go thru.
Offside..
Im sorry, but Hormones Do tend to be a problem and WHITEWASHING this is like:
DEMANDING no birth control..
RESTRICTING TEENS from having sex.
And low population growth in the USA..
Are we going back to the Masters and Johnson/Kensey/... reports...??? That People dont even know HOW to have sex?? Know how to protect themselves??
Damned if you do, and damned if you dont???
SOME of the BS of the past is F'ing scary..what they were saying and doing..Can you Guess where Cold Cereal came from??(sould be Sureal)
