Popis: The mobile phone has become smarter in the information age, moving into a dystopian ability to support the passive and active prevention of human trafficking. With the rise of social media and the growth of missing and exploited person databases as well as known human trafficker databases, the opportunity to meld the technology into a viable level of immediacy of engagement is timely and transformative in nature. This is especially poignant within societies experiencing ethical fading. Social media offers the opportunity for facial recognition technology to scan images and videos against a database of missing and exploited persons, but a next step three-prong approach highlights in-operating system settings allow access to personal graphics and videos, with users choosing to allow private domain images to run through facial recognition software; in-social media app capability to send “help” communication; and in-mobile app capability to send graphic or video to run against databases.
