Silenced and Sold: How Facebook Censorship Hides the Dark Truth About Adoption Trafficking
Meta Buries the Voices of Trafficked Adoptees While the Industry Profits
The intersection of international adoption, war, and political power plays has long been shrouded in secrecy. However, recent events have exposed just how deep corruption runs. From the Holodomor’s stolen children to the ongoing abduction of Ukrainian war orphans, history continues to repeat itself under different guises. Adoption has been weaponized — not just as a tool for child redistribution but as a means of political leverage, ideological control, and even war profiteering.
And now, in the digital age, Big Tech companies like Facebook (Meta) are actively suppressing those who dare to expose this system.
War, Adoption, and the U.S. Role in Ukrainian Child Trafficking
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a humanitarian crisis, and over 700,000 Ukrainian children have reportedly been taken — many of them forcibly deported into Russia. This has been verified by international human rights organizations, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) has even issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over these war crimes.
However, while media has focused on Russia’s actions, the role of Western nations remains under-examined.
Reports have surfaced that U.S. officials, including former Washington state legislator Matt Shea, have personally escorted Ukrainian children out of the country under questionable circumstances. While Shea has claimed to be conducting “humanitarian missions”, critics argue that these operations bear an alarming resemblance to past coercive adoption schemes disguised as rescue efforts.
This is not without precedent.
- The “Operation Babylift” scandal in the 1970s saw the U.S. remove Vietnamese children — many not orphans — and send them for adoption abroad.
- The Guatemalan adoption crisis (1980s-2000s) involved Western agencies facilitating adoptions that were later revealed to be rooted in trafficking and fraud.
As Ukraine fights for its sovereignty, the trafficking of its children has become another tool of war — used both by Russia for demographic warfare and by Western actors exploiting the chaos for adoption profiteering.
Facebook and the Censorship of Adoptee Voices
As discussions about the ethics of adoption intensify, many adoptees and activists have taken to social media to share their experiences and expose the hidden underbelly of the adoption industry. However, Facebook’s censorship practices have increasingly targeted these voices.
Reports from whistleblowers, adoptee advocates, and digital rights organizations reveal that:
- Posts discussing coercion, trafficking, and adoption profiteering often disappear without explanation.
- Shadowbanning and algorithmic suppression limit the reach of adoptees speaking out about their lived experiences.
- Fact-checking organizations, some with ties to political entities, have mislabeled discussions on adoption trafficking as ‘misinformation.’
Meta’s suppression of adoptee voices serves a clear purpose: controlling the narrative. By erasing perspectives that challenge the highly profitable adoption industry, corporations and political figures ensure the system remains unchallenged.
This is not new. History has whitewashed:
- The forced adoptions of Indigenous children under assimilation programs
- The Baby Scoop Era (1940s–70s), when unwed mothers were coerced into giving up their infants
- Religious trafficking scandals, such as the Spanish Catholic baby trafficking cases (1939–1990s)
Now, Big Tech is ensuring that modern injustices remain hidden.
The Next Chapter: Forced Births, Forced Adoptions
Beyond war and international adoption scandals, the U.S. is laying the groundwork for a new era of forced adoption.
With the fall of Roe v. Wade, anti-abortion lawmakers and groups have pushed adoption as a “pro-life solution.” But this isn’t about protecting children — it’s about supply and demand.
The U.S. has never reckoned with its dark history of coercive adoptions.
- The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was created because Indigenous children were being taken from their families at alarming rates.
- The Baby Scoop Era forced thousands of young, unwed mothers into relinquishing their children.
- Trump’s secretive adoption talks with Russian officials hinted at efforts to leverage adoption for political gain.
Now, with the “forced birth” movement ensuring a steady supply of infants, America is on the verge of another era of systemic child separation — one that profits adoption agencies, religious institutions, and policymakers while erasing the voices of those who have suffered under it.
How This Happens: The Playbook of Control
1. Destabilization and Crisis Creation
Wars, economic crashes, and political instability create conditions where families are torn apart, children are displaced, and governments are too weak to protect them.
- Holodomor, Indigenous child removals, and now Ukraine’s war orphans all followed this same pattern:
Crisis → Child Displacement → Expansion of the Adoption Market.
2. Legislation as a Weapon
Laws like:
- The Dima Yakovlev Law (Russia’s retaliation to the Magnitsky Act)
- Abortion bans and restrictive custody laws in the U.S.
- Project 2025, which seeks to reshape federal policies on reproductive rights and adoption
These create conditions where children can be forcibly separated from their families.
3. The Adoption Industry and Profits
- The adoption industry, worth billions, relies on a steady “supply” of children.
- Private adoption agencies, religious institutions, and even politicians stand to benefit financially and ideologically from increasing the number of children available for adoption.
- Anti-abortion laws ensure more children are born into situations where adoption becomes the “only option.”
Why This Matters to You
You might think this doesn’t affect you, but:
- If you’re a parent, your ability to keep custody of your child could be challenged by laws that favour adoption.
- If you’re a woman, your reproductive rights are being dismantled to ensure a steady supply of adoptable infants.
- If you’re from a marginalized community, history shows that forced adoptions disproportionately target Indigenous, Black, and impoverished families.
- If you believe in free speech, understand that Big Tech is actively controlling what narratives are allowed in public discourse.
This is not just about past injustices — it is about the present and the future. The playbook has been written, and unless it is challenged, history will repeat itself.
We are speaking up for you now — because you may not have a voice left tomorrow.
Is Meta Untouchable?
Meta (Facebook) is not just a tech company — it is a global power broker. It controls digital speech, shapes political narratives, and profits from a system that exploits the most vulnerable.
Government Fines:
A Cost of Doing Business
- Meta has been fined billions for privacy violations, misinformation, and illegal monopolistic behaviour.
- 2019: $5 billion FTC fine (Cambridge Analytica scandal) → Meta barely noticed.
- 2022: $400 million EU fine (child privacy violations) → Meta kept operating as usual.
Meta made $117 billion in 2023 — meaning even the biggest fines are meaningless.
Antitrust Lawsuits:
Will the Government Break Up Meta?
- The FTC is suing Meta, arguing it has illegally monopolized social media by buying competitors.
- If the government wins, Meta could be forced to sell Instagram & WhatsApp.
Reality Check:
- Antitrust cases take years, and Meta can appeal indefinitely.
- The U.S. government has never successfully broken up a Big Tech company.
Meta’s Political Influence: Buying Protection
Meta spends millions lobbying politicians to prevent real regulation.
- $19.2 million in lobbying in 2023 — one of the highest in Silicon Valley.
- Close ties to both Democratic & Republican lawmakers.
Why It Matters:
- Laws that could actually hurt Meta get watered down or blocked before passing.
- Regulators hesitate to go after a company that funds their campaigns.
Censorship & Information Control:
Meta Decides Who Gets Heard
Meta shapes public discourse through its algorithms and content moderation.
- Shadowbanning of adoptee voices & human rights activists.
- Misinformation is allowed to spread when it benefits corporate or political interests.
- Governments pressure Meta to suppress or amplify narratives.
Meta is not just a company — it is a gatekeeper.
Can Meta Be Stopped?
Government lawsuits? → Takes years, and Meta can afford endless appeals.
Fines? → Meta makes so much money that fines are meaningless.
Boycotts? → Most people won’t leave Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, so there’s no financial impact.
Public outrage? → Meta waits out scandals because people move on.
The Only Real Threat: Stronger antitrust laws or global privacy regulations that force real change — not just fines.
Final Verdict: Is Meta Untouchable?
Yes, in the short term. Meta can afford fines, lawsuits, and scandals.
Yes, in the political system. It has too much influence over lawmakers.
No, in the long run. If governments get serious about breaking up Meta, it could eventually lose power.
But until then, Meta will continue silencing voices, shaping reality, and profiting from exploitation.
The question is no longer just
“Who will be silenced next?”
