Edit 2:
Facebook only expanded into Sudan in 2018.
They provide a "FreeBasics" censored internet, that allows Facebook w/out using data. So they are digitizing Africa's slave trade
In South Sudan, a 16 year old girl is currently being auctioned on Facebook.
Despite lawyers pleas, neither the government nor Facebook will remove the offending posts.
[Edit: (correction)
The auction is over, but the posts are still on Facebook.]
Based on the posts, it looks as if several regional politicians were involved in the bid. Someone posted, “Cows are more than people.” In a reference to the young woman’s height, the post said, “The kids of the winner are guaranteed for NBA slots.”
“The historic and greatest marriage competition in Jieng/Dinka culture ended successfully,” and the girl was married after her family was given 530 cows, 3 V8 cars, and $10,000.""
This relates to Pizzagate as it demonstrates social media companies knowingly facilitating child trafficking.
