The tech companies all say they prohibit the use of their platforms for exploitation of minors and that they’ve taken several steps to curtail the crimes. “Child exploitation—whether online or offline—is a horrific crime, and we support law enforcement in Colombia and around the world to prosecute the criminals behind it,” a Meta spokesperson said. Match said it stays in close contact with US and Colombian officials and collaborates with child safety organizations to keep its platforms safe and secure. An Airbnb spokesperson said the company takes its work to “support the global fight against human trafficking and exploitation seriously.” The company has also provided training to help law enforcement authorities request data from Airbnb to aid their investigations and invested in nonprofit-led educational resources for local hosts.
