This act aims to create a strategy to combat recruitment by criminal cartels on social media. Citizens may see increased government efforts to monitor and counter illegal online activities, which should improve safety, especially in border communities. The act seeks to protect individuals, particularly young people, from being drawn into criminal activities.
Key points

Authorities will assess how criminal organizations use platforms for recruitment and illicit activities like drug and human trafficking.
The strategy aims to improve cooperation among government agencies, including with local authorities and communities, to protect citizens.
