US pledges to crack down on Haitian gangs making money off social media

The U.S. government, through envoy Mike Waltz, pledged to crack down on Haitian gangs using social media to fundraise and recruit. Gangs in Haiti use platforms to celebrate violence and post content to attract members, prompting U.S. intervention. The U.N. has also targeted gang leaders like Johnson André, who was banned by YouTube in 2023.
