Well, the fact that google and apple have slave marketplaces in their app stores should be of relevance to the many google/apple employees that frequent this site.

I’d say it’s quite relevant since these people are traded openly on the country’s largest online commerce platform (including auctions). It’s a good example of technology facilitating modern day slavery and therefore very relevant to an open debate about the perceived “modernisation” of Saudi Arabia.
