Career Justice Department officials warned about the online extremist network “764,” which exploits vulnerable teens on social media to promote self-harm and violence. The group targets underage females, often coercing them into harmful actions for entertainment and status within the network. The FBI is actively investigating over 350 individuals linked to 764, while the Justice Department faces challenges in prosecuting related cases due to existing laws. Officials emphasize the urgent need for new legislation to combat such online extremism.
