Salesforce Trafficking Lawsuit Tests Tech Accountability Limits

Landmark G.G. v. Salesforce lawsuit examines tech company liability for enabling sex trafficking via business tools. Seventh Circuit ruling allows case to proceed under TVPA.

This case establishes a critical precedent for holding technology companies accountable when their services enable criminal enterprises, moving beyond traditional content liability. It directly impacts corporate due diligence practices, potentially requiring tech firms to audit client relationships more rigorously to avoid complicity in human rights abuses. For survivors, it expands legal pathways for justice against powerful intermediaries who profit from exploitation. The ruling challenges the tech industry's reliance on broad immunity shields, signaling that courts may scrutinize business conduct that facilitates harm, which could reshape liability standards for platforms and service providers globally, affecting everything from social media to cloud infrastructure.
