Young British women, sometimes inebriated and in nakedness, are being utilised in social media video adverts by cruel people smugglers.
Experts allege that the videos are being used to lure young boys to seek the services of criminal gangs and travel to Europe and the United Kingdom.
Several of the profiles, which have hundreds of thousands of followers, were discovered on Instagram.
Others show migrants using people smuggling routes by land and sea, in addition to the many videos of young ladies.
A reliable source provided data obtained from a cyber contact who works on ‘machine learning algorithms’ and uncovered many accounts that he believes are “fronts for criminal people smuggling gangs.”
Another report stated that this was “an advertising campaign to predominantly North Africans seeking smuggled passage into Europe and Britain.”
The social media advertising are identical to those used by smuggling gangs last year to persuade young male Albanians to fly to the United Kingdom.
Those recordings showed young guys allegedly ‘enjoying the high life’ in London and other cities, accompanied by wads of cash and sports automobiles.
Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, criticised organised criminal gangs using social media to solicit business earlier this month.
“Heartless people smugglers are using social media to promote their despicable services, charging people thousands of pounds to make the illegal journey into the UK on unsafe boats,” she said.
“They must not succeed,” she continued.
The Home Secretary was speaking after the government announced that a number of social media companies would collaborate with UK law enforcement to combat people smuggling messages.
Meta, owners of Facebook and Instagram, as well as TikTok and X/Twitter have all signed up to the plans.
