HUMAN SECURITY IN SOCIAL MEDIA - JUST A CLICK AWAY —
Abstract
Social media or communication systems from online environment are trendy, whether we are talking about the phenomenon “Facebook”, “Twitter”, “Instagram” or communication via e-mail, “chat”, “video chat” or any other existing online communication platform. It's a trend, and if you want to have an active social life you must be connected at these platforms. When used incorrectly, Social Media becomes the best market for recruitment of victims of human trafficking, one that has no borders, is not limited by geographical location, nationality or culture. Whether we like it or not, Social media is part of a great ocean of information where more controversial information can be found in the virtual realm and and used in a symbiotic, demonic like feature, called the Deep Web, which we’ll detail in what follows.References
