Facebook is rife with terminology, acronyms, and shorthand variations of different words and phrases.
Unfortunately, the platform has also seen a rise in the number of users who disguise certain types of content and material under a different name – with ‘chicken soup’ one example.
As a result, Facebook has flagged the term, meaning that any user who searches for the term ‘chicken soup’ on Facebook or any other Meta platform will have their action flagged and investigated by Facebook.
What Content Does ‘chicken Soup’ Refer to on Facebook?
‘Chicken Soup’ is increasingly being used as a term to disguise content containing child abuse – specifically sexual abuse.
The nature of this content, and the fact that is breaks all of Facebook’s community guidelines and codes of use, means that any user who searches for or shares content under this tag will be flagged. Moderators will then work to uncover the material they’re accessing and ensure that content is not only taken down but reported to the official authorities.
Users who come across any content that they believe violates the terms of use and Facebook’s guidelines, should report and flag both the content and its poster. With the help and support of users, Facebook can continue to be a safe place for all.
In short, ‘Chicken Soup’ is flagged because of the nature of the content is has come to represent. Users who upload content under this tag are knowingly sharing content which is harmful and which violates both the terms of Facebook and the law.
