Secret Online Emoji Code Used by Criminals Trafficking Children for Sex aka Rape- Massively Increased Recognition and New-to-me Symbology using Hearts, Crowns and Others Emojis (pizzagate)

Today on my local news, they discussed the codes that human traffickers use on backpage.com to advertise/sexually exploit children and women. I had never heard of this code before.

I tried but was unable to find a link to my local news story, but i did find this:

Turns out this info was published back in June, but these codes are news to me, and we should all be aware of this coded language... Similar to "cheese pizza", etc. The local news story presented this yesterday as breaking news.

Hearts, Crowns, airplanes, cherries and other pictures are used to symbolize things like "underage", "victim being flown in" and "virgin." This shit makes me sick.

What i also found at the following link is that two days ago the woman who helped uncover these codes got an award, which means increased recognition of this sick code language.

How and why the FUCK is backpage still getting away with this horror? Sickening.

I recommend the documentary 'I Am Jane Doe' about human trafficking at backpage.com.

It's incredible that these things are still going on at the backpage site.

Utterly astounding, given our intelligence apparatus has eyes on everything and everyone. Makes me want to kill people. Slowly.

You are vastly overestimating our intelligence capabilities

But even the dullest tool in the shed could track down child sex traffickers who advertise on backpage. They don't track them down because they don't want to. And if you watch the "I Am Jane Doe" movie, you'll see judges who rule that those ads may be just "old men who like to be seen in the company of young women" which translates to there are obviously a LOT of judges using this service. This is why they are "inept" at tracking this stuff. People in high places don't want to put an end to it because they rather enjoy child sex slaves.

Hahaha. That was a good one.
