I find this misunderstanding reminiscent of and related to the larger issue of modern slavery.
I feel certain that if you asked any social justice warrior how many slaves there were in the United States, they would picture neck chains and auctions blocks and tell you there weren't any, since it had been outlawed by the Great Emancipator and the Thirteenth Amendment (he wasn't and it didn't).
The 2023 Global Slavery Index (GSI) estimates that on any given day in 2021, there were 1.1 million people living in modern slavery in the US, a prevalence of 3.3 people in modern slavery for every thousand people in the country. This places the US among countries with the lowest prevalence of modern slavery in the region (21 out of 25) and globally (122 out of 160), but represents the highest estimated total number of people in modern slavery in the Americas, accounting for over one-fifth of people in modern slavery across the region. While data on modern slavery are not aggregated at the national level – making the true number of cases reported difficult to ascertain – the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) reported receiving 10,360 reports of suspected human trafficking cases in 2021.
I like the part where none of the Democrat crusaders in their dashikis have ever bothered introducing legislation where the federal government would collect the numbers and add them up. Reparations yes, SUM() no.
Again, none of this is of any concern to SJWs since they have not been instructed by their TVs or social media feeds that they can signal their virtue over the issue. No avatars have been even temporarily changed because of this.
Prison labor is stretching the definition of slavery. Also it would be cool if we had a border so we didn’t have to hear about cases of forced child marriage.
I don’t know enough about it to argue but in principle it doesn’t seem bad. I will say though that it’s hard to give much weight to an article that simultaneously denounces child abuse and indirectly validates the idea of “trans kids”

Turns out they'd only be off by over a million:
MODERN SLAVERY IN UNITED STATES

"Give me the man and I will give you the case against him, and then I'll pay him a dollar a day so it won't stretch any definitions."
