AI helped teenagers turn a brutal history into a TikTok trend

A bizarre trend from Mexico is gaining popularity on TikTok. Teenagers are using AI to 'try on' the image of agents of a notorious 1970s special service. In the videos, they appear in strict 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 service is infamous for kidnappings, torture, and disappearances of people. That's why many users consider the trend dangerous — AI and social media have begun romanticizing one of the most brutal chapters in the country's history.
