Chicago Police say 53 people are in custody as part of a two-year operation to infiltrate secret groups selling drugs and guns on Facebook
Chicago Police said Tuesday that 53 people are in custody as part of"Operation FaceBOOKED," a two-year operation to infiltrate secret groups selling drugs and guns on Facebook.
Interim superintendent Charlie Beck announced the mass arrests at a news conference Tuesday and took aim at Facebook's privacy policies, which he said facilitated the practice."Today's announcement will help educate everyone on how some of these dangerous weapons are being sold, and how social media conglomerates like Facebook are encouraging this type of illegal activity by turning a blind eye in the name of member privacy," he said.
— Anthony Guglielmi December 3, 2019 Facebook says on its site that the sale or trade of firearms between individuals is not allowed."Illicit drug and firearms sales have no place on our platform. We remove content and accounts that violate our policy and catch over 97% of drug sale content and over 93% of the firearms sales content we remove before it is reported to us," said Sarah Pollack, a Facebook spokeswoman.
