PLAINTIFFS’ CHARACTERIZATION

"One 2019 internal document describes the most frequent forms of human trafficking on Meta's 'FOAs' or family of applications. Though recognizing that 'every Human Exploitation stage (recruitment, coordination, exploitation) is represented on our platform,' the company determined that recruiting and exploiting (or advertising) victims for profit were the most common."
