    A lot of the internet needs to be, and will be, changing dramatically in coming decades.

    Compare it to the beginning of the industrial revolution through up through modern postindustrial civilization.

    I won't be terriibly surprised if, when I die (I'm 39), the internet resembles my earliest memories of it on the family pc in 93iah, or possibly on the Amiga than whatever this shit show is supposed to be.

    I don't even understand people that buy clothes without having their hands on the fabric first and just take the seller claim at face value.

    Even if it through Amazon, nah. I shop for my clothes in person.

    As someone who has had their fB since around 2010, used to spend hours at the office reading Craigslist best of and local missed connections because the local lesbians wouldn’t talk to each other otherwise. Hell I even used the Craigslist dating service to get laid when I moved to to NYC in 2012. Did it work out? Who knows? As for me I’m posting from my coffin I rent for $2500 at bottom of the East River so RIP I got a great deal on the 99 chicken (?) legs (???) we served at the funeral.
    That being said I still use FB faithfully and I STILL have never used marketplace. The CL anon forum scars still burn. It burns down here.

    One time I was looking at a jeep on facebook market place and asked him if he could "send me a picture of the front pumpkin" the dude was used car salesman, so i assumed he would atleast know that pumpkin is slang for differential. Instead he sent me a picutre of a very large lady in a orange shirt. Then when I said that wasnt what I meant, he called me a lazy stupid millennial. Like excuse me sir, im gen Z, get it right.

    So something that I really want to clarify is that the “trafficking” you talk about isn’t actually a human trafficking setup, it’s much more commonly a setup for sexual assault or mugging (specifically talking about when you say people advertise on facebook to lure you in, not what you talk about with child trafficking, where facebook is used as a platform to exchange and sell rather than a platform to lure people in). The idea that human trafficking rings get their victims by luring strangers (especially if these strangers are white and affluent) is a long running fear mongered myth. Trafficking targets people who won’t be missed, and unfortunately there are so many people who won’t be missed if they go missing that trafficking rings wouldn’t even begin to consider taking people who would have missing posters put up of them. Stranger trafficking isn’t really a thing, and when it is, it’s mostly targeting undocumented immigrants, the homeless, runaways, young adults who recently aged out of the foster system, people in poverty with no other options, sex workers, etc.

    But like I said, this doesn’t mean the stuff you’re talking about doesn’t happen—it’s just not trafficking. There’s a few famous cases of murderers using this to find victims, and a lot of cases of this being used to lure in targets of sexual assault (although again, most cases of SA are not strangers, it’s people you know) and probably thousands of cases of people being robbed/mugged on facebook marketplace. And again, there is trafficking on facebook. However, people aren’t captured via facebook marketplace, that’s just where the actual trafficking of people occurs.

    But the idea that there are organized groups of traffickers luring in people through facebook marketplace is just a myth. The real dangers are much more mundane

    As a regular marketplace user, i can say i get a lot of bot buyers and see a lot of really shady listings from the smack dab in the middle of the hood in Detroit that are 90% likely to be kidnappers
