@MamaLake I'll be frank with you, I'm not as informed on Meta enabling the coup. I am aware of Meta's role however, in amplifying hate speech and facilitating genocide of the Rohingya in

Hello fediverse friends.
For The Globe and Mail newspaper, I've spent the last four months hearing from survivors of Myanmar's infamous scam compounds. Run by Chinese criminal syndicates with the collaboration of at least one Burmese pro-junta militia, the camps are staffed by trafficking victims, including a growing number of Africans who are beaten, electrocuted and raped if they don't meet scamming targets. They aren't paid for their efforts.

@ZekuZelalem When I learned of this reality I stopped insulting scammers...

@oblomov I asked. In Cambodia, apparently authorities at the airport are very likely to follow and stop arriving Nigerians, Pakistanis and Ethiopians, because too many people of these nationalities have been trafficking victims. The criminals likely want to avoid certain nationalities to reduce the risk they face of getting followed, spotted and then jailed by Cambodian police on trafficking charges.
@ZekuZelalem @oblomov its good that the Cambodian authorities are putting pressure on them, its too bad they dont have more effextive criteria than nationality to spot potential victims

@ZekuZelalem
I wonder how many camp like these around the world are going to be filled with the people that the conservative ICE troops are kidnapping in the USA right now. It seems that the USA is or will be a leading people trafficking source. -
