Sweet deal.

That guy got ripped off

ikr, 500 cows is a lot of steak to part with willingly.

Her father received 500 cows, two luxury cars, two bikes, a boat, some mobile phones and $13,800 in exchange for his daughter.

Facebook has been criticised for allowing a 16-year-old child bride in South Sudan to be auctioned off to the highest bidder on its platform.

The post advertising the girl was first shared on October 25, but it took Facebook until November 9 to remove the post - six days after she was married off to the winning bidder.

George Otim, country director of Plan International South Sudan, likened the auction to slave markets and slammed Facebook for allowing it to take place on the company's platform.

You can't do either in English. If you posted in... Whatever language they speak in South Sudan, you'd be able to do both. They don't have a lot of moderators who speak languages in these poor parts of the world. Like Facebook was basically used to organize a genocide in Myanmar, and mass killings of Muslims in Sri Lanka, and Facebook only ever bothered adding moderators for either of those languages after the events (government of Sri Lanka specifically was going to ban them from their country if the allowed their resources to be used for pogroms like that in the future).

Also, BTW, even in English Facebook is really lenient with regards to racism. Like "Kill Muslims" would get you banned because it had no qualifiers, but "kill Syrian migrant children" would probably slide because the ethnic group "Syrian" is limited by "migrant".

Also cry more bitch

lol that's literally all you do

fuck u commie

well only one of those threatens the globohomo world conspiracy, so...

If the daughter consents, there is literally nothing wrong with this.

This hypercapitalist system of matrimony would solve the incel problem and increase workforce participation

How when one man gets 9 wives?

Her father received 500 cows, two luxury cars, two bikes, a boat, some mobile phones and $13,800 in exchange for his daughter.

The groom must be desperate as fuck to pay that much for some gussy that's already like 3 years past the lolbertarian expiration date.

The notion that American internet companies should impose American morals on a global userbase is never going to work that well, but people won’t accept this until there’s like a major Chinese company that starts imposing restrictions on Americans.
