For the past few days, hundreds of people have taken to Twitter–ERRR—X (still need to get used to typing that out) about a strange anomaly on Facebook..
It appears that when looking up chicken soup on Facebook, they think you are trying to find child pornography..
Some have complained that they have been locked out of their accounts simply by searching for it.
When Twitter user @KingBobIIV tweeted out the Facebook message that appeared after searching for “chicken soup,” one person responded with a fairly upsetting reason. According to @ItsPropaPanda, some “users were sharing and asking for links to child abuse images and videos.” They added, “Sometimes they used generic terms with the initials ‘C.P.’ a common abbreviation for ‘child pornography,’ and code like ‘caldo de pollo,’ which means ‘chicken soup’ in Spanish.”
Initially people began talking about this on Reddit threads about 8 days ago.
People have also researched on Urban Dictionary .
From an NBC news article as the pandemic began in early 2020,
Concerned parents notified NBC News of accounts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and in the comments of YouTube videos where users were sharing and asking for links to child abuse images and videos. Many of the links were to groups on private messaging apps, including Telegram and WhatsApp, as well as to file-sharing sites such as Mega. Sometimes they used generic terms with the initials “C.P.,” a common abbreviation for “child pornography,” and code like “caldo de pollo,” which means “chicken soup” in Spanish. Others referred to the names of children who appear in sets of child abuse imagery already known to law enforcement. NBC News did not click on the links to verify that they contained what they advertised.
