Cheese Pizza? Meta’s Instagram Facilitated Massive Pedophile Network
A comprehensive investigation by the Wall Street Journal and the Stanford Internet Observatory reveals that Meta-owned Instagram has been home to an organized and massive network of pedophiles.
But what separates this case from most is that Instagram’s own algorithms were promoting pedophile content to other pedophiles, while the pedos themselves used coded emojis, such as a picture of a map, or a slice of cheese pizza.
The pedophilic accounts on Instagram mix brazenness with superficial efforts to veil their activity, researchers found. Certain emojis function as a kind of code, such as an image of a map—shorthand for “minor-attracted person”—or one of “cheese pizza,” which shares its initials with “child pornography,” according to Levine of UMass. Many declare themselves “lovers of the little things in life.” -WSJ
According to the researchers, Instagram allowed pedophiles to search for content with explicit hashtags such as #pedowhore and #preteensex, which were then used to connect them to accounts that advertise child-sex material for sale from users going under names such as “little slut for you.”
Sellers of child porn often convey the child’s purported age, saying they are “on chapter 14,” or “age 31,” with an emoji of a reverse arrow.
Meta claims to have taken down 27 pedophile networks over the past two years, and says it plans more removals.
“That a team of three academics with limited access could find such a huge network should set off alarms at Meta,” said Alex Stamos, the head of the Stanford Internet Observatory and Meta’s chief security officer until 2018, adding that the company has far more effective tools to ‘map’ its pedophile network than outsiders do.
Underage-sex-content creators and buyers are just a corner of a larger ecosystem devoted to sexualized child content. Other accounts in the pedophile community on Instagram aggregate pro-pedophilia memes, or discuss their access to children. Current and former Meta employees who have worked on Instagram child-safety initiatives estimate the number of accounts that exist primarily to follow such content is in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions. -WSJ
“Instagram is an on ramp to places on the internet where there’s more explicit child sexual abuse,” according to Brian Levine, director of the UMass Rescue Lab. Levine authored a 2022 report for the DOJ’s National Institute of Justice on child exploitation over the internet.
see my following post.
Have I missed which GOP Senators have come out and decried the witch hunt against President Trump?
Usually you can’t keep these useless jackals from a microphone.
The good guys are getting out the truth.
Sound of Freedom is another must see movie that is coming out July 4th.
Excellent—you are on a roll.
In a similar vein to your post #1661:
This is from FL lawyer Jeff Childers’ “Coffee and COVID” email this morning:
____________________________________________________________
🔥 Following two weeks of Jeffrey Epstein news, the Wall Street Journal ran another shocking exposé yesterday, headlined “Instagram Connects Vast Pedophile Network.”
The story checks off yet ANOTHER misinformation conspiracy theory. Just wait, you won’t believe this one.
It’s not just that Instagram (owned by Facebook) allowed perverted users to post horrific subhuman child pornography on its system, the software even encouraged debased criminal users by helping them connect with each other, helped them trade highly-illegal CSAM, and even suggested ways for them to avoid getting caught.
Facebook blames all of that on surprising side-effects from their A.I., which sure gives us a glimpse into the near future. Get ready to hear “AI made me do it” a lot. Anyway, Facebook claimed they’ve promptly taken action, deleted accounts and illegal images, limited search tags, fixed the AI, and so forth. So don’t worry.
You might fairly be wondering what, exactly, Facebook’s swarms of social media police do all day long. I’ll tell you. They keep anti-vaxx memes off the platform, make sure nobody blames the pandemic on a lab leak, erase evidence about election cheating, and delete incriminating Hunter Biden’s laptop content. But what they DON’T DO is combat any real-life crimes:
Sometimes user reports of nudity involving a child went unanswered for months, according to a review of scores of reports filed over the last year by numerous child-safety advocates… When the activist reported a post declaring, “This teen is ready for you pervs,” Instagram responded with an automated message saying: “Because of the high volume of reports we receive, our team hasn’t been able to review this post.”
No response for months. But Michelle got banned once — in under ten minutes! — for simply posting that she wanted to “punch Joe Biden in the throat.” (It was uncivil, true, but there was mitigating context. She was provoked.) The point is, everyone has their priorities, and clearly, protecting children is not one of Facebook’s.
The appalling content and the disgraceful features helping pedophiles trade, buy and sell illegal content were recently uncovered by three independent Stanford researchers. The team said after they set up a single account and connected it to a couple other child porn collectors within a loose social network, they were immediately buried with “suggested for you” recommendations of thousands of child-sex-content sellers and buyers. They were also, oddly, offered links to off-platform CSAM trading sites.
Following just a few of the recommendations flooded their test account with underaged sexual content.
It’s a long article. But this one paragraph especially jumped out at me, and at other close observers of the captured media:
The pedophilic accounts on Instagram mix brazenness with superficial efforts to veil their activity, researchers found. Certain emojis function as a kind of code, such as an image of a map🗺️—shorthand for “minor-attracted person”—or one of “cheese pizza” 🍕, which shares its initials with “child pornography,” according to Levine of UMass. Many [Instagram perverts sickeningly] declare themselves “lovers of the little things in life.”
Wait, go back. Did they just say, “cheese pizza?” Pizza? Wasn’t that the obvious code word all over Hilary Clinton’s leaked emails? But … I thought the pizza thing was all debunked conspiracy theory misinformation. They mocked the very idea, laughingly labeling it “pizza gate” and darkly hinting that anyone who believed that stuff was dangerous and should be on the no-fly list or something.
Ironically, Facebook busily banned any accounts that discussed PizzaGate or used the PizzaGate hashtag, while at the same exact time it was helping pedophiles build a vast criminal network using that very same code word.
The Wall Street Journal, with its teams of award-winning reporters and layers of editors and fact-checkers, failed to make that connection. Just … nothing. You’d think PizzaGate might’ve earned a single sentence in the extended article. But no. Not one word about what now must be considered another established conspiracy fact.
I suppose the Journal deserves credit for running the story at all. Still, it ended on a down note, quoting the Stanford researchers who tested Instagram after Facebook reported its repairs. The researchers said Instagram is, once again, helping the network rebuild itself. One of them thinks the entire platform should be shut down:
Following the company’s initial sweep of accounts brought to its attention by Stanford and the Journal, UMass’s Levine checked in on some of the remaining underage seller accounts on Instagram. As before, viewing even one of them led Instagram to recommend new ones. Instagram’s suggestions were helping to rebuild the network that the platform’s own safety staff was in the middle of trying to dismantle…
Levine called Instagram’s role in promoting pedophilic content and accounts unacceptable. “Pull the emergency brake,” he said. “Are the economic benefits worth the harms to these children?”
Qui bono?
Reading between the lines, the paragraph above shows that the Journal gave Facebook time to clean up its act before running the story. Why? Do people without government connections get the same consideration before an exposé is published? Just asking.
So that’s one conspiracy theory confirmed.
Praying this is a reverse “sting”, by RPOTUS.
Cue the theme song to The Sting...lol.
Good morning, Gran!
The Zuck has a whole lot to answer for.
When will the useless hearings start?
Interesting that the WSJ, Stanford and UMass worked together on this investigation.
Interesting tweet about what the Truckers Convoy protests achieved:

@FromKulak
I keep encountering this misconception from people who don’t follow Canadian politics...
That somehow the Trucker convoy was defeated.
The Freedom Convoy was the most wildly immediately successful protest in Canadian history, maybe WORLD history.
People remember Trudeau’s crackdown, old ladies having their skulls cracked with batons, Disabled indigenous grandmothers trampled by police horses, Bank accounts frozen and public employees investigated for mere donations...
And there’s a big reason people remember this... It was dramatic, and the media and the regime certainly wanted you to think resistance was futile...
What people don’t remember is what happened in the immediate aftermath: The government caved on absolutely everything within a week for the most important things, and then a month or so for the rest.
First off there was the massive political shift that happened as the convoy was occurring:
Jason Kenny, the pro-lockdown Premiere of Alberta (Canada’s most conservative province) was forced to announce his resignation, and Alberta immediately lifted all its lockdown impositions.
Erin O’toole the pro lockdown leader of the conservaitve party was likewise forced to resign, his temporary replacement Candice Bergen (not to be mistaken with the actress) being a longtime rival opposed to lockdowns, and his main rival who replaced her after party elections was
@PierrePoilievre
, the Politician after
@MaximeBernier
who was quickest to embrace the Truckers and their cry for freedom.
As the convoy was ongoing Trudeau invoked the Emergencies act (the Act which replaced the War Meassures Act for invoking Martial Law)... Now these grant the government almost unlimited powers, famously the War Meassures act was invoked by Trudeau’s Father to detain Quebekers and raid hundreds of homes without warrants during the FLQ separatist crisis of 1972...the catch is while the follow on Emergencies act can be invoked by a prime minister parlaiment has to sign off on the act’s continued use within one week.
Well skull were cracked, accounts frozen, and as the week passed things came down to the deadline... On the very last night... Trudeau managed to get sign off (without the conservative opposition) from the house of commons, but it had to go to the Upper House, the Canadian senate.
NOW. The Canadian Senate is a shameful institution.
Its like the British house of lords but without the nobility.
A senate seat is a lifetime appointment, by the prime minister... and that’s it. Little to no review, no democratic input, and this is supposed to be equivalent or superior to our elected house of commons...
Naturally the go to use of the senate is as a spoils system for cronies. Do some shameful favour for a prime minister, raise a lot of money for the party, be politically connected to a provinicial gov the PM wants to buy off... Get a senate seat.
One of the longest standing political agreements in Canada is how badly the senate needs to be abolished... but can’t be because Quebec is nominally over represented in the Senate, and abolishing it would cause a constitutional crisis.
So mostly the senate keeps its head down and tries to avoid the news... becuase it will never be sympathetic.
So this nursing home for cronies, criminals, fall guys, and connected activists past...people who’s names haven’t been spoken aloud since 1996... an institution who was last in the news 10 years ago for an expense scandal who’s essence was “Wait we’re paying these leeches expenses!?”... that body was called upon to sign off on the emergencies act...
And all these self important losers smelled blood in the water.
.
Did they have some principled stand on civil liberties grounds? Absolutely not.
They had a principled objection that they weren’t being treated as more important!
Sure they’d consider signing off on Trudeau’s abuses, but they wanted an ongoing senate committee to continuously review the abuses, with cabinet level briefings for the committee members, regular pressers, inclusion on the forming of policy... Juicy Juicy INFLUENCE.
The exact thing these shameful roaches had been denied ever since their real political careers flamed out in ‘92 and they’d been forced to become lost souls in the senate.
The speeches these delusional 70 year old nobodies gave...MY GOD barely coherent gibberish from geriatrics convinced they were great statesmen... convinced their wisdom might now be included in great volumes of Canadian oratory next to Laurier, Macdonald, and Pearson...
With mere hours left to the deadline and no passage in sight... Trudeau voluntarily withdrew the act.
.
In the preceding week his Finance minister Crystia Freeland had given press statements and interviews to the effect that they planned to hunt down everyone who donated to the convoy, and create an expansive new system of financial control... with hints ths would extend not only to the protesters, but all the unvaccinated...none of this would happen.
Instead Trudeau weekly tried to claim victory... There were no protestors in Ottawa or on bridges! But in the week that followed lockdown measures were quickly and quietly pulled back. Alberta had already rescinded their measures, and other provinces were following suit. By June almost all domestic restrictions were gone the regime desperately afraid that if the Protesters were able to shut down the capital and crossborder trade in minus 20 to minus 40 degree weather...what might they do in the Summer? Canada day (July 1) was approached with fear.
By August I travelled to US for wedding... Unvaccinated. The greater barrier being the risk the US would refuse me entry than Canada would hastle me. The US border guard didn’t ask.
And on the way back the Canadian border guard, obviously over with this stuff, told me “Now because you’re unvaccinated you do technically have to quarantine, and they could possibly call, and if you say you haven’t been quarantining they might do something...” I received one email from public health and immediately deleted it. THere was no enforcement.
I travelled again in October, and was not even asked on return.
The last measures had been withdrawn.
The Greatest barrier to travel was US border restrictions and requirements... which technically only ended in May this year.
.
WITHIN 1 month the trucker convoy had effected a hostile overthrow of the Governments of Alberta and the official opposition, the Conservative party of Canada, from pro to anti- lockdown, and crushed the moderate wing of the conservative movement.
At Multiple points Trudeau was nearly forced out by his own party and his government was humiliated with most pof its percieved power destroyed, it now exists as a rump failing to pass gun control bills (IN CANADA!) against moderate opposition.
Within 2-4 months all domestic restrictions were gone and within 8 months even the pantomime of international restrictions didn’t exist, Canada had fewer covid restrictions than the US.
COMPLETE CONSENSUS had be totally destroyed such that in less than a year the national consensus was the polar opposite.
And all the actual action took place in 1 month, on the coldest days of the year, with a movement who’s key members had to drive 4000-5000km (~3000 miles) along treacherous northern roads being greeted roadside by supporters who stood out in minus 40 to give them coffee food and support.
.
This was at once the most logistically challenging protest in human history involving the volunteering of tens of millions of dollars of equipment, weeks of time, tens of thousands of people, across a continent...
And it might just have been the most successful individual protest in human history. The most successful violent revolutions have not achieved such total reversals in culture and policy across so many levels of government, in such few short months.
.
THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON THE REGIME WANTS YOU TO THINK OF IT AS A FAILURE.
The same reason things like Brexit, the Yellow Vests in France, or Jan 6th, or the Dutch Farmers protest freaked out the elite so much.
The greatest possible threat to them is that the mass of the Suburban and rural Middle-class: Flyover country, the Petite Bourgeoise, the small business owners, the farmers, the truckers, the Kulaks... The greatest possible threat to the regime is that this mass will realize its incredible power both in coordination, logistics, and initiative... And that it will overthrow the governing class of Bureaucrats, Regulators, Lawyers, DEI Administrators, and leaches who’ve gotten rich surviving of their tax cattle who actually work and produce things.
They HAVE to play off the Truckers as a failure... Trudeau had to declare victory then cave on every single individual policy.... because they can’t let people see what it was:
A premonition of the great Class War to come.
Another reason for the ‘sham’ war.....child trafficking???
These people truly are sick.
The SILENCE is deafening, isn’t it.
But it speaks volumes!
Thx for posting...bookmarking to read, later, this a.m.
And there’s discussion about Biden halting DNA testing on illegals claiming to be family, making child abuse even easier.
I wonder if this excites Linda as much as having Russians dying:

Mike Pence is one of the hardest working and most decent people I have ever known.
The field has grown in a very good way by his decision to throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination. He has much to offer the country.

I’m on the way to the SCIF to review the FD-1023 that details the bribery scheme that Biden was involved in as VP.
These documents don’t belong in a SCIF. They belong where ALL the American people can read them and understand what Biden was involved in.
I will continue to push for that!

So why didn’t the WSJ mention Pizzagate, fail to connect the dots?
Must be afraid of Hitlery!

There’re only two lines of defense remaining for President Trump against the continued baseless legal attacks by these Marxist Dem and Deep State prosecutors: Decent and patriotic Americans must insist the House of Representatives raise their voices and at least pass a resolution condemning the corrupt Democrat Party and Deep State for more than seven years of political persecution of President Trump and demand it stop now. Or, the Federal courts step in to stop the Democrats and Deep State’s savage and broad abuse of power against President Trump.
The Marxist Dems and the Deep State are evil—what are the Republicans we sent to Washington? We’re about to find out—please contact your elected officials today! #Defend45
