A digital investigation this journalistic collaboration conducted via CrowdTangle—a tool that Meta deprecated on August 14th, 2024—looked for keywords and key phrases in Spanish used in posts meant to contact minors with sexual ends (such as “I show it to you,” or “falling in love is allowed”) published in public Facebook groups between March 10th, 2022, and the date of CrowdTangle’s closing. Among the almost 21,000 posts we found, six profiles stood out: “Yostin (Niñö),” “Yostin,” “Yostin Vargas (Influ),” “Yostin Vargas (El Yôutûbêr),” “Yostin Vargas (YouTuber),” and “Mari Cruz (Sweetie),” which could be linked to the same person: Yostin Vargas.
