Reasoning

This is a strategic communication about SEO and reputation management with no trafficking signals. While Epstein gave 'explicit permission to promote any URL required to dislodge the negatives,' the language refers to digital marketing tactics, not procurement or exploitation of persons. The context is reputational suppression, not trafficking activity.
