INTERPOL: INTERPOL urges end to 'Pig Butchering' term, cites harm to online victims
INTERPOL is calling for a shift in language to combat online relationship and investment frauds, advocating for the term 'romance baiting' to replace the widely used but stigmatizing 'pig butchering.' INTERPOL argues that the term 'pig butchering' dehumanizes and shames victims of such frauds, deterring people from coming forward to seek help and provide information to the authorities.
