De-Platforming


With Gringolandia seemingly on the cusp of adiosing Tiktok, not far south of the border they have been approaching the problem from the other end, removing influencers one by one.

Two that have lately closed their accounts, so to speak, are Justin Paul, 'El Pinky' and 'El Gordo Peruci'.

And now flyers like this one are being dropped by small plane over the Culiacán area, inviting users to terminate their relationship with a range of content creators, kind of literally.



The issue seems to be that many of these prominent public figures have acted as 'prestanombres' e.g. collaborated via DM with Los Chapitos, a spin-off cartel run by the offspring of El Chapo remaining in Sinaloa.
