It's called a "REM rebound". I think it's fun.
Mr. Xi, my people beg for freedom.
Hard to watch. 
It feels like yesterday that I was watching him run circles around Sarah Palin in their debate. Mortality is scary.
What was it!?

Here it is: Walk Free's Global Slavery Index
What is modern slavery?
Modern slavery takes many forms and is known by many names. Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, or deception.
Modern slavery includes forced labour, forced or servile marriage, debt bondage, forced commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, slavery-like practices, and the sale and exploitation of children. In all its forms, it is the removal of a person’s freedom — their freedom to accept or refuse a job, their freedom to leave one employer for another, or their freedom to decide if, when, and whom to marry — in order to exploit them for personal or financial gain.
So, slavery includes being coerced into a job in which you are exploited for financial gain....? 
So where did their data come from?
I spent an hour studying their methodology in hopes of finding the raw data for the DPRK, but I couldn't glean much except that it was not among the surveyed countries.
I emailed info@walkfree.org asking about an hour ago and got the automated reply quoted below. I'll see if anyone gets back to me.

To their credit, they did remove several instances of North Korea from the Department of Labor's "list of products at risk of modern slavery by source country" because they "could not find recent evidence to verify the occurrence of forced labour".
However, they added to the list solar panels from China, because of the "well-known" exploitation occurring there. It then cites an article on the Uyghurs. lol

Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!
Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.
