Guests:
Justine Hopkins – Co-founder with The Survivor Collective and Project Medusa. Justine is a journalist, writer, and advocate focused on human trafficking, with particular attention to emerging and lesser-known tactics in nightlife, digital spaces, and encrypted platforms. She works to translate complex threats into practical, actionable knowledge for communities and decision-makers.
Topics:
- Descent into the Underworld – Justine’s entry point into the hidden machinery of human trafficking, where illusion and control blur into survival.
- Rebranded Exploitation – How dating coaches, social media, and sexual tourism disguise and normalize coercion, repackaging harm as lifestyle.
- The Algorithm of Control – AI as a force multiplier: precision targeting, reality distortion, and the silent expansion of coercive power in digital shadows.
- Crime Is an Equal Opportunity Employer – a system where both men and women participate. There is no single face of guilt.
