In February 2022, the Center for International Policy released the report titled "Platforming Human Trafficking: Tweeting Human Auctions in the Middle East" based on an investigation of the current state of human auctions on Twitter.

The report reveals that posts advertising auctions of migrant workers in the Middle East are standardized and systematic on Twitter, claiming that the digital platform company has continued to aid and abet these slave markets through their inaction. In addition, the report claims that Twitter and other social media platforms have undermined the US. Government attempts to combat human trafficking and modern slavery by knowingly assisting, facilitating, or supporting human trafficking in the form of auctions in the United States and Internationally.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Twitter to respond to the allegations. Twitter did not respond.
