Facebook and Human Trafficking

Good morning,

Some of you may be posting about this, but it popped up as the top CNN story:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/25/tech/facebook-instagram-app-store-ban-human-trafficking/index.html

Their own report admitted that FB is used in all stages of “the human exploitation lifecycle (recruitment, facilitation, exploitation).” I am aware that mail-order marriages use social-media platforms. It is relevant to our final paper research that Apple is policing Facebook: so these media institutions are in internal battles over social justice (or is Apple concerned about image and customer growth?)….

This news comes as Facebook is also under scrutiny for enabling racist content and organizing around “Stop the Steal” and January 6.

You may know that Facebook hires sociologists… think about why they would want us!
