Beleidsrede
In ’n poging om skade te ontwrig en te voorkom, verwyder ons inhoud wat die uitbuiting van mense, insluitend mensehandel, fasiliteer of koördineer. Ons definieer mensehandel as die proses om iemand se vryheid vir gewin te ontneem. Dit is die uitbuiting van mense ten einde hulle te dwing om aan kommersiële seks, arbeid of ander aktiwiteite teen hulle wil deel te neem. Dit steun op misleiding, dwang, en verneder mense deur hulle van hul vryheid te ontneem terwyl ander ekonomies of wesenlik daarby baatvind.
Mensehandel is veelvlakkig en wêreldwyd; dit kan enigiemand beïnvloed ongeag ouderdom, sosio-ekonomiese agtergrond, ras, geslag of ligging. Dit neem baie vorms aan, en enige gegewe mensehandel situasie kan verskeie stadiums van ontwikkeling behels. Weens die dwingende aard van hierdie mishandeling kan slagoffers nie instem nie.
Terwyl ons versigtig moet wees om nie mensehandel en -smokkelary saam te smelt nie, kan hulle verwant wees en oorvleuel. Die Verenigde Nasies omskryf mense smokkelary as die verkryging of fasilitering van onwettige toegang tot ’n staat oor internasionale grense. Sonder noodsaaklikheid vir dwang of geweld, kan dit steeds die uitbuiting van kwesbare individue tot gevolg hê wat probeer om hul land van oorsprong te verlaat, dikwels in die strewe na ’n beter lewe. Mense smokkelary is ’n misdaad teen ’n staat wat op beweging staatmaak, en mensehandel is ’n misdaad teen ’n persoon wat op uitbuiting staatmaak.
Bykomend tot die veroordeling van inhoud, om bewusmaking of beriggewing oor mensehandel of smokkelary te kweek, laat ons inhoud toe wat vra vir of inligting deel oor persoonlike veiligheid en oorsteek van grense, soek van asiel of hoe om ‘n land te verlaat.
Moenie die volgende plaas nie:
Inhoud, aktiwiteite of interaksies wat mense werf vir, fasiliteer of uitbuit deur enige van die volgende vorms van mensehandel:
  • Sekshandel (enige kommersiële seksuele aktiwiteit met ’n minderjarige of enige kommersiële seksuele aktiwiteit met ’n volwassene wat geweld, bedrog of dwang behels)
  • Verkoop van kinders of onwettige aanneming
  • Weeshuishandel en vrywillige toerisme van weeshuise
  • Gedwonge huwelike (insluitende kinderhuwelike)
  • Arbeiduitbuiting (insluitende gebonde arbeid)
  • Huishoudelike diensbaarheid
  • Nie-regeneratiewe oorgaanhandel nie insluitend orgaanverwydering, skenking, of oorplanting in ‘n nie-uitbuitende orgaanskenking konteks
  • Gedwonge kriminele aktiwiteit (bv. gedwonge bedel, gedwonge dwelmhandel)
  • Werwing van kindersoldate
Inhoud waar 'n derdeparty-akteur werf vir, fasiliteer of voordeel trek uit (finansieel of andersins) kommersiële seksuele aktiwiteit
Inhoud wat aanbied om smokkel van mense aan te bied of te fasiliteer
Inhoud wat vra vir mensesmokkeldienste
Ons laat inhoud toe wat andersins deur hierdie beleid gedek word wanneer dit in die konteks van veroordeling, opvoeding, bewusmaking, of nuusberiggewing geplaas word.
Ingevolge ons beleide oor mense-uitbuiting kan ons kontroleerders en geoutomatiseerde stelsels ook ’n reeks gedragseine in berekening bring om oortredende rekeninge te help bespeur en daarteen op te tree.
  • Ons kan rekeninge verwyder op grond van hul interaksies met ander oortredende rekeninge, soektogte vir of interaksies met oortredende inhoud, of lidmaatskap in gemeenskappe (bv. groepe) wat ons verwyder het omdat ons beleide oortree is.
Vir die volgende Gemeenskapstandaarde vereis ons bykomende inligting en/of konteks om daarteen op te tree:
Ons kan inhoud verwyder wat ’n pos aanbied op plekke met ’n hoë risiko vir arbeidsmaguitbuiting wanneer dit deur wetstoepassers, plaaslike nieregeringsorganisasies of ander vertroude vennote bevestig is
Policy Rationale
In an effort to disrupt and prevent harm, we remove content that facilitates or coordinates the exploitation of humans, including human trafficking. We define human trafficking as the business of depriving someone of liberty for profit. It is the exploitation of humans in order to force them to engage in commercial sex, labor, or other activities against their will. It relies on deception, force, and coercion, and degrades humans by depriving them of their freedom while economically or materially benefiting others.
Human trafficking is multi-faceted and global; it can affect anyone regardless of age, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, gender, or location. It takes many forms, and any given trafficking situation can involve various stages of development. Due to the coercive nature of this abuse, victims cannot consent.
While we need to be careful not to conflate human trafficking and smuggling, they can be related and exhibit overlap. The United Nations defines human smuggling as the procurement or facilitation of illegal entry into a state across international borders. Without necessity for coercion or force, it may still result in the exploitation of vulnerable individuals who are trying to leave their country of origin, often in pursuit of a better life. Human smuggling is a crime against a state, relying on movement, and human trafficking is a crime against a person, relying on exploitation.
In addition to content condemning, raising awareness about, or news reporting on human trafficking or human smuggling issues, we allow content asking for or sharing information about personal safety and border crossing, seeking asylum or how to leave a country.
Do not post:

  • Orphanage trafficking and orphanage volun-tourism
  • Forced marriages (including child marriages)
  • Labor exploitation (including bonded labor)
  • Domestic servitude
  • Non-regenerative organ trafficking not including organ removal, donation, or transplant in a non-exploitative organ donation context

Content that offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling
Content that asks for human smuggling services
This policy update is based on external consultations on our policies around the solicitation of human smuggling services. Although we have long prohibited content that offers human smuggling services, we allowed content that solicited them in line with international human rights standards. In 2021, we consulted experts and non-governmental organizations focusing on migrant safety, refugee protection, human rights, trafficking, and organized crime on how to treat content that solicited smuggling services. These stakeholders raised many important considerations, including, for instance, that removing such solicitations could impede a person’s attempt to flee danger and could limit the ability of their friends and family to support them. On the other hand, they also emphasized that allowing solicitations could increase the possibility that vulnerable people could be preyed upon. Nearly all the experts we consulted supported the idea of developing an information page about safe, legal migration options for people posting such content.
This work resulted in us holding a Policy Forum in December 2021, at which point our team made the initial recommendation to allow people to solicit human smuggling services while we serve up information about seeking asylum or other legal migration. Since that time, we continued consultations, which raised further concerns that allowing solicitations could put vulnerable people at the risk of exploitation. This ultimately led us to update this policy to remove content that solicits human smuggling services in order to protect vulnerable people and help them by providing information about the risks of engaging with smugglers, the signs of potential exploitation, and resources on how to seek asylum or other legal migration.

After consulting with outside experts from around the world, we are consolidating several existing exploitation policies that were previously housed in different sections of the Community Standards into one dedicated section that focuses on human exploitation and captures a broad range of harmful activities that may manifest on our platform. Experts think and talk about these issues under one umbrella — human exploitation.
