In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, have been widely used by human traffickers in Florida. The Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, led by Attorney General Ashley Moody, recently conducted a survey that exposes the extent of this distressing issue. More than half of the reported instances of social media platform use in human trafficking cases since 2019 involved Meta platforms. With such alarming findings, Attorney General Moody is demanding answers from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and has invited him to testify before the council on this matter.
The statewide survey conducted by the council, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, paints a grim picture of human trafficking’s on Meta platforms. Attorney General Moody revealed these results during a virtual meeting, emphasizing the urgent need for Meta to address the exploitation happening within its virtual walls. Instances of social media platform use in human trafficking cases have reached a staggering number of 271, and an astonishing 146 of these can be traced back to Meta platforms. These numbers clearly demonstrate that Meta’s applications are the preferred tools for human traffickers to prey upon vulnerable individuals.
The 2022 Federal Human Trafficking Report reveals a troubling reality: Facebook was the most frequently used platform for recruiting human trafficking victims from 2019 to 2022. Furthermore, Facebook and Instagram combined accounted for 60% of the top ten platforms involved in this heinous practice. These statistics leave no room for doubt regarding the extent to which Meta platforms are intertwined with the exploitation of innocent individuals.
In addition, recent reports indicate that major social media sites, including Meta platforms, have reported a surge in suspected child sexual abuse materials, including child sex trafficking incidents. An overwhelming 85% of these incidents reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children came from Meta platforms. Such distressing figures cannot be ignored, and they demand immediate action.
Zuckerberg and his secret police aka as fact checkers ban anyone who disagrees with their “truth.” Well here’s the truth staring Zuckerberg in the “face” and Attorney General Moody needs to throw the “book” at him!
Fact check this, Zuckerberg: Human traffickers are exploiting your digital empire and they must be stopped now.
Enough is enough!
