The National Human Rights Council revealed that digital platforms and social media sites have been turned during mass crossing events into tools for organizing and facilitating illegal migration. More than 23 groups on Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and TikTok have been identified, promoting the sale of swimming equipment, life jackets, and clothing for marine sports. They also provide guidance on crossing scenarios and gathering points. The monitoring also uncovered posts related to organizing crossing trips, identifying less dangerous maritime routes, and sharing success stories, all within networks suspected of being linked to human trafficking. The report highlights the increased activity of digital intermediary networks and their promotion of exploiting young people's aspirations, turning social media platforms into tools for evading monitoring and easing illegal flows.
