Strategy to Combat Cartel Recruitment of US Youth on Social Media.
This law mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a national strategy to counter recruitment efforts by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) targeting US individuals, especially minors, via social media, messaging, and gaming platforms. The goal is to enhance border security and protect youth from involvement in illicit activities like drug and human trafficking. The strategy must include measures to protect the civil rights and privacy of targeted individuals.
Key points
Increased Protection: DHS must create a plan to shield US youth from cartel recruitment tactics used on online platforms and gaming services.
Intelligence Sharing: A new mechanism will be established for social media and gaming companies to voluntarily report information about cartel recruitment efforts.
Civil Rights Safeguards: Law enforcement activities must focus on TCOs, not the recruited individuals, while fully protecting the civil rights and privacy of targeted persons, especially minors.
