SEATTLE - Mexican drug cartels continue to expand their illicit enterprise all across Mexico and the United States. Not satisfied with that, groups such as the Sinaloa cartel and the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) are now expanding their influence over younger generations with the help of the digital world.
From fake job postings to propaganda shared on social media, criminal groups are mostly targeting young people online as they poach young recruits. The use of certain emojis and other imagery are now associated with certain criminal groups, which proves the power and reach they have garnered over social media.
