Robots will lead to
more human trafficking, slavery.

Is this another socialist website that pretends to report on technology but uses it as a false flag to push their fantasies?
Or it it just satire?
Who can tell.
The article says.
- Tens of millions of workers could lose their jobs to automation, particularly in southeast Asia, over the next 20 years.
.
Garment workers among those most at risk of losing their jobs, finding few low-skill alternatives and facing exploitation, according to the Verisk Maplecroft report.
it doesn't say why or in what way the new unemployed will face exploitation. Then it goes completely off the rails.
- The rise of robot manufacturing will dramatically alter the labor market in southeast Asia and result in a spike in human trafficking, slavery and other labor abuses, according to a report released Thursday.
no evidence or even an argument is presented to support that claim.
The rest of the article is just repeat. No new information is presented.
You see what they did there?
The socialists presented a scary headline.
Many people don't read anything but the headline.
The seed has been planted.
The 'low information, willfully uninformed low IQ' millennial won't know any better.
They admit that they don't know what they are talking about.
Oh I see, if people lose their jobs in sweatshops then they will be exploited? I guess they will have to sign up for Steemit accounts.
it would seem to me that being employed in a sweatshop is BEING exploited.
loosing their job is a release.
sorry bout the starvation part..
exactly. They eat a lot of bugs and rats anyways, they'll be fine.
