AI Helps Teens Turn Brutal History into TikTok Trend

A strange trend from Mexico is gaining popularity on TikTok. Teens are using AI to 'try on' the image of agents of a notorious secret police force from the 1970s. In the videos, they appear in formal suits, standing next to luxurious retro cars, and caption the videos with phrases about money and complete impunity.

❗️ But there's a problem: that very agency was notorious for kidnappings, torture, and disappearances. Therefore, many users consider the trend dangerous — AI and social networks have begun to romanticize one of the most brutal pages in the country's history.
