Meta would let accounts reported for human trafficking purposefully remain active for 17 days or more if it helped with engagement.
So accounts where someone was potentially being trafficked and forced to prostitution where encouraged by meta to remain up for as long as possible.
Meta also is losing a lawsuit for being dangerous to teens. Yet every advertisement I get for them on YouTube, reddit etc claim they have saftey features for teens. Everything they say is the opposite.
Also this problem is mostly Ais fault.
