Human smugglers along the southern border are openly advertising their services on Facebook, and the social media company has fallen short on removing such content.
A plethora of user accounts have posted offers to facilitate illegal border crossings on the social media platform. Some posts even directly advertise how much they charge for the service. Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), who took office in January, repeatedly alerted Facebook to the issue, both in general and to a number of specific offending posts, but most of them haven’t been removed, she said.
