Maids for Sale: Silicon Valley’s Online Slave Market - BBC News
BBC via Youtube ^ | 11/01/19

Posted on 11/11/2019 10:50:13 AM PST by Enlightened1

Google, Apple and Facebook-owned Instagram are enabling an illegal online slave market by providing and approving apps used for the buying and selling of domestic workers in the Gulf.

 

BBC News Arabic’s undercover investigation exposes app users in Kuwait breaking local and international laws on modern slavery, including a woman offering a child for sale. The discovery of Fatou in Kuwait City, her rescue and journey back home to Guinea, West Africa, is at the heart of this powerful and shocking investigation into Silicon Valley’s Online Slave Market.

They are m*slims so it’s OK. But if you say something, you are an islamophobe.

“... Slavery has Always been in their blood ...”
And so has pedophilia and misogyny.

If Midwestern folks knew how much the very wealthy indulged in slave-holding (mostly for sex), there would be mega-revulsion.

But the rich rich it well — in their estates, at their retreats, during hotel and resort stays, on their yachts — and their assistants cover it well.

No biggie, so long as the slavers don’t mention Eric Ciaramella’s name.

IIUC, they are doing business in a country/countries where it is legal. Objectionable, yes, cruel and nasty, sure, but illegal?

Expect slavery to become legal again in the USA if the Democrat Party is not destroyed.

After all, the Democrat Party championed slavery in the 19th century. It would return to slavery today, if the Democrats could get away with it.

and they’re using general For Sale - Want Ads apps so trying to pin this on silicone valley is silly. Video also said they use Instagram.

It does violate Intl law but the muslims never follow Intl law anyway. They have their sharia and that’s all they need since it’s a complete manual on life and how to live it.

On the other side, slaveowners provided housing, clothing, and food for their slaves, but prevented them from getting an education; Dems have kept the descendants of their former slaves in the same state, minus the work.

Based on things that I have read in the Bible, I believe that slavery will make a comeback —and the democrats will be the ones pushing it.

(Of course it won’t be called slavery, the left will come up with some nice sounding euphemism to cover their crimes.)

Exactly.

The Evil Ones always do, and the Democrat Party is the political agency of the Evil Ones.

It is no happenstance that the Democrat Party is supported by satanists, atheists, witches, ANTIFA, and the ku klux klan. ANTIFA and the KKK are its terrorist arms.
