US pledges to crack down on Haitian gangs making money off social media
The U.S. has pledged to stop Haitian gangs from using social media to fund and recruit members, with Mike Waltz, the U.S. envoy to the U.N., calling the practice 'incredibly disturbing.' YouTube previously banned gang leader Johnson André in 2023 after criticism over his 100,000-subscriber milestone, and Waltz urged international support for a U.N.-backed mission to combat gang violence in Haiti.
