Illegal online pharmacies are using social media to circumvent the law and facilitate the purchase of addictive drugs without a prescription.

Earlier this year, we highlighted this issue for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and we did so again today with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Once we brought up examples of criminals using Twitter to conduct opioid sales, they immediately banned those users and took down the ads.
