Probably changed their name because "vice" obviously sounds like enforcing a questionable moral code (while having fun), whereas "counter-exploitation unit" sounds more important and serious.
Underage sex work and human trafficking was already illegal in Canada, but they recently shut a lot legitimate sex workers down.
How are you actually auditing LE to make sure they're only targeting trafficking/minors or other real offenses?
Edit: To be clear, how do we know this isn't a sham like drug laws? No drug user I've ever known, even the ones that OD'd and died, ever benefitted at all from drug laws. Quite the opposite in fact. So forgive us for being skeptical about another morality law enforcement system that might have a similar damage ratio.
Even the first question that comes to me: Is the sex market so bad that buyers are interested in coerced workers? Sure, some people might be into underaged (regardless of the cutoff), and I suppose some people might be into abusive stuff they couldn't buy from willing participants. But does that make up the majority even? Or is it really just a lot of bored, or ugly, or busy, or curious, etc. etc. buyers?
More pointedly, where are your morals? Are you pushing for better laws, despite that they might hurt business?
