Arabia

Slave markets found on Instagram and other apps

[BBC] - Drive around the streets of Kuwait and you won't see these women. They are behind closed doors, deprived of their basic rights, unable to leave and at risk of being sold to the highest bidder.

But pick up a smartphone and you can scroll through thousands of their pictures, categorised by race, and available to buy for a few thousand dollars.

An undercover investigation by BBC News Arabic has found that domestic workers are being illegally bought and sold online in a booming black market.

Some of the trade has been carried out on Facebook-owned Instagram, where posts have been promoted via algorithm-boosted hashtags, and sales negotiated via private messages.

#11 Never buy a sex slave,...… rent or lease.

#10 Only white slavers who don't exist anymore are bad. All others are quaint tribal customs(tm) approved of by the UN and National Geographic

#9 The western world has been unique to ban slavery. The west forgets it has been common all through history and is still common outside western cultures.

#7 This distracts from the slavery race hustle in America. I is only evil in that respect to the race hustle industry.

#5 Chinese officials were in league with the 'businessmen' populating their stock with Pakistani girls. They have Epstein equivalents in Guangdong and Shanghai. But the airports wouldn't allow muslim girls in. They struck a deal with local churches and temples to provide religion certificates for them.

Then local traffickers preferred to abduct or lure christian girls and sell them to visiting Chink prospectors. It was blown open recently by a catholic girl escaping complaining, but not before she was trafficked through her pastor. There was no comment from Vatican.

#4 Some are no doubt Pakistani, as well, though what they were exercised recently was fake marriages to Chinese husbands for similar purposes.

#1 I know. Some of them are Indians. We bought 14k Dinar worth of women on the darknet from there last year. And repatriated them to their home states.

There's a whole industry in leftist Bengal, Nepal, etc that arranges for mass transit disguised as placement, NGO work, education, marriage.
