    International police body Interpol says scam centers that use human trafficking victims to carry out their crimes have gone global. Once limited to Southeast Asia, the criminal model is spreading — and uses AI.

    Human trafficking-fueled scam centers have significantly expanded their operations worldwide, according to a crime trend update released on Monday by the international police agency Interpol.

    Hubs where trafficking victims are forced to take part in online fraud first emerged in a few Southeast Asian nations, but investigators are now also uncovering similar fraud centers in other regions.

      The provenance of the image on that article is here. Those are freed captives.

      I would like to point out that a huge proportion of the people in that picture are men.

        It says so in the article 👍

        Why?

            Yeah honestly this has been one of my takeaways too, after hearing about these awful things a while back.

            You never know what’s going on in the life of a stranger on the other end of a phone call, so respect and politeness is the best we can offer.

                Interesting. Any response to that last question? I thought those were bots all this time!
