Looks like, the drug-dealers, also caught up with the times then??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The police stated, that in the past, the incidents of dealers using the chatrooms to sell the illegal substances, or for solicitations of sex had not, decreased, the newer online forums, the social media platforms, even online gaming sites are now, even a place where crimes happen currently. A lot of the dealers had, signed up for social network accounts, and gotten involved in the discussion forums of drug researchers, falsified themselves as ordinary people online, when in actuality, they were, using the online platforms, to communicate, to sell and buy the illegal substances.
The police pointed out, that more and more dealers used the communication apps on their cell phones, set up the private groups, private communities, and after the members had gone through the qualification checks, those who are interested in buying can, privately buy the illegal substances under the radars, and those who wanted to sell the prescription drugs for illegal uses are able to, communicate faster and more privately, to find more clients to deal these substances to.
in the past…
An officer stated, that a lot of the online games allowed the players to change their characters at any time in the games, and they can buy the “voice-over” equipment in the games, and left message on the online games, so every player can see.
Some of the dealers would utilize this function, and call out “I have drugs to sell”, “anybody trying to get high?”, along with other secret codes for selling the illegal substances, and watch the personal information of the players and filter through them one by one, and those more alert dealers had figured out, that “the gamers who’d been playing the games a long time, but never bought the gaming points, are mostly police officers, fishing for them.”
in this current day and age…

And, as the friendship apps of cell phones became a trend, a law enforcement official disclosed, that more and more are finding those who are interested in buying and selling the illegal substances, especially in those auto-delete communication apps that erases everything, these are, best for erasing their tracks, and as the dealers found the prospects, they’d, used other communication apps to contact them, to evade arrest.
And so, this, is the evolution of things, as everything goes high-tech, so do the dealers and the buyers, because that way, they don’t leave their footprints that are, trackable by the police, which makes it even harder, for the police department to catch them in the act of dealing illegal substances, which makes this world an even more dangerous place to live in.
