EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Troy Nehls: Instagram, OnlyFans Fueling “Epstein-Island-Like” Child Trafficking IndustryInstagram and OnlyFans are fueling an exploding illegal child trafficking industry online, Rep. Troy Nehls wrote Tuesday to the Federal Trade Commission in a letter obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.
“Children should not be victims of crimes for the financial gain of social media companies. This is why I am calling on the FTC to immediately investigate both Instagram and OnlyFans.com and establish effective guardrails for credit card companies, such as Mastercard and Visa, who allow the purchase of content displaying the sexual abuse of children.
“Regrettably, even users who inadvertently encounter such material, and rightfully report it to the platform, are often suggested similar content by the platform’s algorithms.”
