In the past two months, our fellow comrades in Norther Mexico have been fearing for their lives. Drug cartels continue to threaten their lives for monitoring and posting stories about the cartels on social media sites. This morning Mexican tweeters and bloggers community was shaken once again as a fourth blogger was found decapitated in Nuevo Laredo. Nuevo Laredo is a city on the border with Texas where the violent and vicious Los Zetas fight rivals over the lucrative drug trade into the United States.
The body was found with signs of torture and a sign stating, “Hello Nuevo Laredo, En Vivo and social media sites, I am “Rascatripas” and this is what happens to you when you keep posting information about us on your social media sites.” Rascatripas was the moderator of an online site called Nuevo Laredo en Vivo, which had posted information about the local drug cartels and the escalating violence.
The drug war in Mexico has killed over 40,000 people since 2006 and the community was able to find solace on social media outlets to decry the cartels and their violent tactics, along with government corruption and a sense of complacency by government officials. This is slowly changing as it is believed that drug cartels can gather intelligence on anyone who is posting on social sites about the drug war or their specific cartel. Slowly, these cartels are threatening the basic freedoms of the Mexican community.
Last week, the fight between Mexican social media users and cartels gained international attention with the story of a supposed showdown between Los Zetas and the hacker group Anonymous. Supposedly, Anonymous posted videos alleging that one of their members had been kidnapped by Los Zetas and Anonymous stated they would retaliate against Los Zetas by releasing names of officials on the Zeta payroll. Later videos alleged that the Anonymous member had been released thus allowing Anonymous to back down on its threat. However, this has yet to be confirmed as the videos could be the work of a hoax by more seasoned Anonymous members.
Yet, what I can’t seem to comprehend is how Anonymous would back down from exposing these corrupt officials. Why not? Help the people and give them the power to challenge this violence. Anonymous is just as cowardly for failing to provide such an essential tool to the Mexican community. So far it seems that they have been the only group to successfully challenge Los Zetas and win.
