AK-47 to LWRC M6: Houthi’s peddling US, Russian weapons on X, WhatsApp; chilling details exposed
Yemen’s online arms trade has exploded, with over 130 X accounts many linked to Houthis openly selling US and Russian weapons. A Tech Transparency Project probe found RPGs, AK-47s, and even US military M4s for sale via X and WhatsApp. Some guns bore Houthi slogans or ‘property of US govt’ marks. Shockingly, 61% of these accounts emerged after Musk's Twitter takeover, exposing how global platforms are fueling illegal arms markets.
