South Africa and Facebook's response to online child trafficking concerns

Children are being sold online in South Africa

South Africa's police minister and the minister of social development say that children in the country are being sold online through social media platforms such as Facebook.

In its latest transparency report, Meta revealed that it took action on 25.1 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content and 2.5 million child nudity and physical abuse posts over the last three months of 2022. A Meta spokesperson told MyBroadband that the platform fights aggressively against the exploitation of children.

The can't even address serious issues like that, but they have the resources to censor and manage online publishing?

Or give out a months ban for this...

As long as they are being sold and sent out the country, we need to decrease the population.

Really surprised Meta took action seeing as they allow scammers to keep their profiles safe.

This is simply horrific.
But I am aware that the process to legitimately adopt a child is also so filled with red tape, that I am pretty sure that it contributes towards the demand for this kind of disgusting marketplace.
