Anti-human trafficking groups push politicians, media companies

to fight QAnon conspiracy theories

Lending credibility to QAnon conspiracies 'actively harms' fight against human trafficking,' letter says

By Rich Edson | Fox News

 

More than 75 anti-human-trafficking and victims’ services groups are pressing politicians, government officials and media organizations to combat conspiracy theories about trafficking designed to influence the upcoming election, according to a letter obtained by Fox News.

 

“As a diverse field, we acknowledge a spectrum of experiences, views, and approaches. We disagree a LOT. On this though, we stand UNITED,” said the anti-trafficking groups. “Anybody—political committee, candidate, or media outlet—who lends any credibility to QAnon conspiracies related to human trafficking actively harms the fight against human trafficking.”

 

Groups of survivors, researchers, service providers, human and labor rights advocates, religious organizations, law enforcement officials and policy experts are among the dozens that have signed on to the letter.

 

“It points to the gravity of the threat that organizations from the more left leaning to the more right leaning have come together and said, ‘we stand in solidarity that these conspiracy theories are harmful to the real work we are doing each and every day,’” said a person involved in the drafting of the letter.

 

The QAnon conspiracy movement surfaced in 2017 and pushes a wide network of elaborate misinformation including the baseless belief that President Trump is waging a secret campaign against a cabal of Democrats and celebrities running a child sex trafficking ring.

 

“The majority of trafficked youth have been abused or neglected, have run away or don’t have stable housing, or are immigrant children fleeing violence in their home countries to seek refuge in the United States,” according to the groups’ letter. “They are the youth that we as a society have failed. They are not abducted by strangers or Hollywood elites – they are abandoned by failing and under-resourced systems.”

 

QAnon followers have been accused of hijacking the anti-human trafficking slogan "save the children" to push a political agenda on social media.

 

In July, Polaris, a nonprofit organization working to combat human trafficking, said its National Human Trafficking Hotline had received hundreds of reports “that reference a series of viral posts claiming online retailer Wayfair has been involved in a complex scheme involving sex trafficking of children.” Polaris said calls based on that conspiracy theory overwhelmed its system, making it difficult for the group to help real victims.

 

The conspiracies have entered American politics, and many of its supporters back the president. Those behind the letter say the timing has nothing to do with politics and that its release is motivated by a growing concern among these groups that misinformation is hindering their already demanding missions.

 

Only groups – no individual’s names – appear among the signatures, as those involved in writing, circulating and signing the letter say they are worried about QAnon followers posting their personal information online.

 

“The fear is real, and I can't tell you the number of conversations we've had over the last week asking for help with security for the organization,” said one person involved in drafting the letter. “This letter could have had a lot more signatures on it. If there weren't very real costs associated with it.”

 

After fueling QAnon’s growth, social media companies have announced they are removing the movement’s content. Last week, citing QAnon, YouTube announced it would “prohibit content that targets an individual or group with conspiracy theories that have been used to justify real-world violence.”

 

Twitter and Facebook have also pledged to step up enforcement and remove QAnon content.

'Growing' extremist QAnon movement is being ‘weaponized’ to ‘boost’

Trump’s re-election: report

Alex Henderson October 21, 2020

 

Whenever President Donald Trump is asked about QAnon, he will say a few nice things about the far-right conspiracy theorists while insisting that he doesn't know much about them. It isn't hard to understand why Trump is taking that approach: he wants the votes of QAnon supporters, while keeping some distance from them. In an article published in Axios on October 21, journalists Stef W. Kight and Sara Fischer report that the movement is still "growing" — and that QAnon is being "weaponized to boost President Trump ahead of the election."

 

Kight and Fischer explain, "What began as a single conspiracy theory linking Hillary Clinton to child trafficking four years ago is now part of a convoluted web of falsehoods being spread to undermine Joe Biden…. In a year of unrest and expected election turmoil, experts are concerned that belief in QAnon could be another instigator of violence in some communities if Trump loses in November."

 

According to the QAnon conspiracy theory, the federal government of the United States has been infiltrated by an international cabal of child sex traffickers, Satanists and cannibals — and Trump was put in the White House to fight against them. An anonymous figure named Q, members of the cult believe, is providing updates on the president's battle. QAnon members believe that everyone from billionaire Democrat George Soros to R&B superstar Beyoncé is part of the conspiracy, insisting that Beyoncé isn't really African-American but rather, is really an Italian woman and Soros ally named Ann Marie Lastrassi.

 

But as absurd as QAnon's beliefs are, FBI agents have warned that the movement is dangerous. Kight and Fischer note that security experts are worried about how QAnon will respond if Biden wins the election — and Bryce Webster-Jacobsen, who specializes in cyber-security for GroupSense, says that QAnon's possible response to a Biden victory on November 3 "keeps me up at night."

 

"Recent reports about what was purported to be Hunter Biden's computer hard drive have sparked renewed activity from Q, with more concrete ideas to latch onto," Kight and Fischer explain. "On the day the New York Post reported on the alleged hard drive, Q posted 16 times, per GroupSense."

 

President Trump's son Donald Trump, Jr., the Axios reporters point out, has been encouraging QAnon.

 

"Earlier this year, Donald Trump, Jr. jokingly insinuated that Biden was a pedophile — a nod to QAnon lore that many Democrats use their political power to hide widespread pedophilia," Kight and Fischer note. "Some Republican politicians' adoption of aspects of the theory has helped bring it more mainstream, Webster-Jacobsen said."

 

Some tech companies have been taking a stand against QAnon.

 

Kight and Fischer report, "On Monday, Spotify removed QAnon podcasts, and TikTok officially banned all QAnon content. YouTube and Peloton announced QAnon crackdowns last week. Facebook and Triller both banned QAnon earlier this month. Etsy banned QAnon products two weeks ago, and Twitter shut down QAnon accounts in July."

 

However, the Axios reporters add that "despite these bans, QAnon followers still find other places online to congregate, like Parler, a far-right social media app."
