Apple threatened to remove Facebook from the App Store in 2019 over human traffickers in Middle East using the site and Instagram as sex 'slave markets', report claims
2021-09-19
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Wall Street Journal reports Apple threatened to remove Facebook from the App Store in 2019 over concerns of human trafficking

  • Internal Facebook documents obtained by the Journal show its employees were searching for human traffickers in the Middle East who were using its apps

  • The offenders posted images of women, skill sets and personal descriptions

  • They advertised them as domestic workers, but were really selling them as slaves or sex workers to the highest bidder

  • The social media company looks at abuse in developing countries as 'simply the cost of doing business'
