Is why Is Chicken Soup Flagged on Facebook? Here's What We Know really worth exploring? Read the pros and cons in our dedicated article.

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."

Sadly, @ItsPropaPanda's theory is seemingly backed up by a recent arrest made in Brownsville, Texas Valley Central News reported that on July 20, 2023, "a man caught with child porn told agents that his message 'tienes CP?' stood for 'caldo de pollo,' documents revealed." Daniel Robles-Contreras was detained on a charge of "charge of possession with intent to view material containing child pornography that had been transported by foreign commerce, federal records show."

Robles-Contreras was attempting to enter the U.S. at the Veterans International Bridge on July 15, 2023, when the Mexican resident was "referred for a secondary inspection and was asked for his cell phone." While searching his phone, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection found "videos of 'prepubescent female children.'"

Authorities were given permission by Robles-Contreras to search other apps where they found an outgoing message on Telegram that read, "Tienes CP?" which means, "Do you have CP?" During his interview, Robles-Contreras told agents that CP "stands for 'caldo de pollo' which translates to chicken soup." Evidently he also admitted to knowing that "caldo de pollo" is a code for child porn, but denied knowing the material was on his phone.
