Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon colloquially known as "Narcotube"—the presence of Mexican drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) on social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

This analysis explores how criminal organizations utilize user-generated content platforms for recruitment, psychological warfare, and brand differentiation, ultimately creating an economy of violence where social media metrics incentivize real-world brutality.
