Zodiac Killer Persuasive Speech

The deadliest serial killer has never been caught and never will be. You may be thinking of the zodiac killer or the long island killer. What if I told you the most relentless killer wasn’t even a living, breathing thing? We have all turned a blind eye to the killer in our pockets. You, Me, and Billions of other people have assessed this killer so many times that if we were all charged there would be no one left to take care of the newborns. The killer has been identified as … Social Media. You may be thinking “Well I just use it to check up on Sherry and the kids” and that might be the case. But how many times are you scrolling through Instagram or Facebook and see a video of Sherry's fifteen-year-old daughter doing an almost inappropriate

It also could be a pedophile behind a fake teenager account trying to have her human trafficked. Don't Believe me? “ About 65% of underage victims recruited online in 2020 active criminal sex trafficking cases were recruited through Facebook, while 14% were recruited through Instagram, and 8% were recruited through Snapchat. ” That’s 87% of human trafficking victims being from social media platforms and that 87% equals 15,225 people. Name one killer that kidnaped 15,225 people. You can’t, because no one has ever come near the number of people social media has harmed. Traffickers use social media to find, coerce, and manipulate victims into meeting with them before they kidnap and exploit them for money, sex, or just pure evil. A study performed by The University of Toledo (UT) Human Trafficking and Social Justice Institute also strongly supported this and found that social media is increasingly being utilized as a medium to contact, recruit, and sell children for sex. The MO of this killer is criminality insane! It uses Human beings to do its dirty work but never gets caught. A teenage girl can do the best she can to keep those men and women

That’s 10,500 women and 7,000 men! Remember that’s in ONE YEAR! In 2004 human trafficking was at a crazy high, 74% of the victims were women, 13% were men, 10% were girls, and 3% were boys. Guess what year Facebook came out? Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, all of whom were students at Harvard University. Facebook became the largest social network in the world. That can't be a coincidence, 65% of underage victims are targeted on FACEBOOK. The number of people prosecuted for human trafficking increased from 729 in 2011 to 1,343 in 2020, an 84% increase. The number of people convicted of a federal human trafficking offense increased from 2011 (464 people) to 2019 (837 people), and 66% had no prior convictions. Social media has only made human trafficking worse and it will continue to get worse if we don’t do anything about it. We have to go to the root of the problem, we have to try and find the source of this madness! Human traffickers target children who post about how much they “hate” their life or don’t feel “pretty enough”. Then once they pick their target they spend months studying
