Additionally, the bill includes provisions to enhance penalties for individuals and organizations found to be using social media to facilitate cartel activities. This would serve as a deterrent to those who may be considering using social media for illegal purposes. Furthermore, the bill calls for increased funding for law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cartel activities on social media. This would help ensure that law enforcement has the resources necessary to effectively combat cartels operating online. Overall, the Combating Cartels on Social Media Act of 2023 seeks to address the growing threat of cartels using social media to coordinate illegal activities.
