Hypocrisy and Meta

So I read this answer on Quora about how someone was selling a child for Rs. 500 on OLX website. (it's more like selling child services, but keep that aside for a moment).

Some people have commented that the person who posted the ad should be jailed.

I suppose the same people wouldn't do a thing when they see a child working at a roadside dhaba.

OLX promptly took down the ad after a social media hue and cry. But I think it only sweeps the issue under the carpet. I think people feeling good about "how they forced OLX to take the ad down" are celebrating a pseudo-victory. Perhaps the ad should have remained there, reminding people of the reality.

Then there are people who blog about others' hypocrisy on child labour without doing anything about it.
