Facebook is so focused on suspending Trump it seems to have MISSED some pretty damn big issues on its own site.
DAMN big issues, like active recruitment in sex trafficking taking place ON THEIR PLATFORM.
Over half of it even:

The majority of online recruitment in active sex trafficking cases in the U.S. last year took place on Facebook, according to the Human Trafficking Institute’s 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report.
“The internet has become the dominant tool that traffickers use to recruit victims, and they often recruit them on a number of very common social networking websites,” Human Trafficking Institute CEO Victor Boutros said on CBSN Wednesday. “Facebook overwhelmingly is used by traffickers to recruit victims in active sex trafficking cases.”
Active cases include those in which defendants were charged in 2020, as well as those in which defendants were charged in previous years and charges were still pending in trial last year or the case was on appeal.
They are super focused on keeping the former president off their platform.
Sex traffickers though? Psh, no problem.
Great job @Facebook

I really think the world would be a better place if Facebook disappeared.
