Houthis Selling Guns on X, Whatsapp? | Firstpost Spotlight | Subscribe to Firstpost | N18G Arms dealers affiliated with Houthi militants in Yemen are using X and Meta platforms to traffic weapons – some US-made – in apparent violation of the social media firms’ policies, a report by the Tech Transparency Project (TPP) has revealed. The report found Houthi-affiliated arms dealers have been openly operating commercial weapon stores for months, and in some cases, years, on both platforms. The report does not specify the arms dealers’ customers, but given the high price of the weapons, with some rifles being sold for as much as $10,000, it is likely that buyers could be other militants. --- Houthis | Yemen | Houthis Arms Deal | Iran-Backed Houthis | Arms Trafficking | Houthi Rebels | X Platform | Meta | WhatsApp | US Weapons | Online Arms Trade | Militant Networks | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #yemen #houthis #houthiattacks #armstrafficking #usweapons #socialmedia #meta #WhatsApp #xplatform #techtransparencyproject #onlinearms #militantgroups #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
