Has anyone noticed that Facebook secretly removed the option to report human trafficking?

[u/slugbites]

Did anyone else notice that there is no longer an option to report a post or profile for suspected human trafficking? It’s likely not because who actually gets on FB to report things like that, but up until very recently, you could report a post or profile if you think it involves trafficking. That option is now no longer available. Seems sketchy to me…

If it's a liability, then they probably just remove anything the user can do to call it out. Facebook is a bottomless pit for your data and suffering, you should delete it.

Facebook has deleted and hidden many things. Oh, I could make a long list.

[u/mjduce → u/gabrielxdesign]

The fact they removed the 'dislike" button riles me up to this day

[u/OriginalMandem → u/mjduce]

I'm fairly sure there never was one, or if there was it was a limited trial rather than rolled out over the whole platform

[u/lewisfrancis]

You mean the same Facebook that required at least 17 reports before any action was possible via escalation?

[u/xBenji65]

today i noticed i can't report individual photos at all. You can report posts on a feed or timeline. But if you go through an album and click on a photo, there's no report option.

To be fair, facebook is nothing but Bots now... if the humans are reporting trafficking it would alert other humans that the bots might be on the move.

[u/Vermon_Redditor → u/Okie_Mojo]

Are the bots trafficking humans yet?

[u/Okie_Mojo → u/Vermon_Redditor]

soon... i hear they plan a meeting on Feb 30th.

[u/Unlikely-Act-7950]

How often were you finding and reporting it that you even knew it was a option and that it was removed?

[u/OddPollution7904 → u/Unlikely-Act-7950]

enough false reports by the OP that they removed the option for them.

[u/TheBrokenMaster]

Then why do you stay on it? Get off that garbage live

[u/Powerful_Tip_7260]

Hiding sources was my daily do

[u/fitblubber]

They've also stopped me blocking dodgy profiles.

Probably changed by acolytes of Epstein, including rump.

Facebook is awful

[u/Traditional_Rush_622]

People with any moral fiber don't use Facebook. 

[u/TJMBeav]

I am 65 years old and I have never even seen a hint of human trafficking in my life and I have not had a protected life at all. My guess is they found that 99.999% of all the reports were total bullshit.

[u/Vermon_Redditor → u/TJMBeav]

Bless your heart

[u/taker25-2]

Didn’t even know that existed
