Thousands of posts offering deadly drugs known as nitazenes have been found on X and the music platform SoundCloud by a BBC investigation. Nitazenes - more deadly then heroin - have recently been linked to nearly three deaths a week on average. After we alerted SoundCloud, it removed the posts. X, formerly Twitter, took down hundreds but many listings remain. SoundCloud said it had been "targeted by bad actors" while X did not respond to requests for comment.
