Instagram is helping pedophiles connect with one another and buy child pornography, a damning new report suggests.

An investigation conducted by the Wall Street Journal, and researchers at Stanford University and University of Massachusetts Amherst found that the popular social media site guides those who express interest in child pornography to sellers.

Some of the accounts claimed to be run by the children themselves, using overtly sexual handles incorporating the words 'little slut for you.'

Several of these sellers even let users commission their own works featuring children of different ages engaged in specific sexual acts, while others listed 'menu' prices for videos of children harming themselves and 'imagery of the minor performing sexual acts with animals,' researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory found.

At the right price, sellers would even allow users to 'meet-up' with the children in question.

Meta, the parent company of Instagram, said it is now setting up an internal task force to address the issues...

Michael Connelly wrote a novel, The Poet, about just such an on-line network (and a serial killer, of course). Life copies art.

Well it is Facebook after all…another rabid atheistic neopagan fascist corporation.

Zuckerberg cannot be bothered to deal with trivial matters such as this because he is busy figuring out how to steal another presidential election.

I just heard Mel Gibson is releasing a 4 part documentary exposing the child sex trade industry. He teamed up with former CIA agent Ballard who rescues children. They went to the capital of child sex trafficking Ukraine. Ballard was suppose to rescue 25 children but was given a list with 10,000 children on it. There are 800,000 missing children in America every year. Biden is now importing babies with no birth certificate who can be used and killed without anyone knowing.

The Bidens probably have accounts.
