How do they measure this data? Do you mean "known cases of child sex trafficking raise by 43%"

    They just track billionaires’ jet transponders. Apparently they’ve spent a lot of time in France after the island was shut down.

    Seriously though, you’re pretty much correct. It’s akin to the “cancer rates are rising dramatically” headlines, when the only thing that changed is our early detection methods got better. So now it is being caught more, and the number of known cases is rising.
