Drug trafficking and other criminal activities on social media have become a growing social concern. To evade detection by law enforcement and automated monitoring systems, offenders use dark jargons, often combining multiple common words to form "dark jargon"—covert dark jargons that are difficult to identify. Once authorities recognize these dark jargons, offenders quickly switch to new ones, making it a constant race to keep up with the evolving words.

Green-Crack" or "Pineapple-Chunk," both known as dark jargons for illegal substances

The computer isn't powered down, if you look closely it's on extremely low brightness and running the hollywood program

  • Detection of Compound-Type Dark Jargons Using Similar Words

These sound like something made up by a teenager trying to sound smart.

during interviews with police officers experienced in organized crime investigations, 93% of the newly detected dark jargons were confirmed as previously unknown. This highlights the potential of the AI to reveal emerging dark jargons that evade current detection efforts.

I can think of several more plausible explanations.

Is no one going to point out the irksome idiocy in pluralizing jargon as "jargons"? 🤦🏽‍♂️
