Facebook KNEW that women were being trafficked from Asia for sex work in US massage parlors but did little to stop it, investigators say
  • David Williams, plead guilty in November 2019 to trafficking women from Asia to the United States for sex work in Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia

  • Facebook confirmed it was aware of the trafficking ring in a 2019 internal report where they boasted how it had 'disrupted' the criminal network

  • Yet, court documents made no note of any Facebook investigation or evidence the tech firm provided to the FBI or authorities

  • People closely involved with the criminal investigation also said they had no memory of Facebook involvement or findings in the case

  • Facebook insist they did assist police, but spokesman Andy Stone has not provided any details of the information given

  • In 2018 a new law was enacted to make tech companies civilly and criminally liable if they do not act to stop sex trafficking on their platforms

  • The latest revelations are part of an intense focus on Mark Zuckerberg's firm, thanks to whistleblower Frances Haugen

  • Earlier on Wednesday it emerged that Facebook did little to prevent Donald Trump whipping up partisan fury after riots following George Floyd's death

So where are the Federal / World Court indictments?
Or is the DC swamp scared of Social Media and the havoc they cause for or against them in election years?
