The BIGGEST Problem In the WORLD*

About this video

The speaker discusses a reported 846% increase in child trafficking incidents at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children between 2010 and 2015. He attributes this rise to telecom companies introducing installment payment programs around 2013 that made smartphones accessible without credit checks. The speaker argues that this particularly affected minors in lower socioeconomic areas who previously lacked home internet access, allegedly making them more accessible to predators.
