Networked technologies such as social media, smartphones, and the Internet have dramatically changed how information is exchanged and how people communicate these days. These media also have been recognized as facilitators of various cybercrime activities, one of which is human trafficking. The Internet has become like a one-stop-shop for traffickers, who use its anonymizing capabilities to evade detection as they recruit, market, monitor, sell, and exploit individuals. This project explored how human traffickers are finding ways to adopt new social media platforms to operate human trafficking rings; the vulnerabilities they exploit in people, processes and technologies while doing so; and how law enforcement and citizen advocates are turning the tables to use social media to monitor and undo these criminal operations. A primary finding is that while progress is being made in understanding the destructive and constructive roles of social platforms in trafficking, there are still many knowledge gaps and missed opportunities, offering ample directions for further work.
