Did you know that #ICE uses heat and utility records to find and deport people?

Maybe you think that's okay because it's not YOUR data.

A reminder: they can't detect patterns like these at scale without everyone's data in the pile. Every drip you give them is used to sort people into bins, distinguish you from others, and more perfectly identify outliers, especially those at risk.

Yes, YOUR data is being used to track and detain OTHER people.

American Dragnet | Data-Driven Deportation in the 21st Century

Our two-year investigation, including hundreds of Freedom of Information Act requests and a comprehensive review of ICE’s contracting and procurement records, reveals that ICE now operates as a domestic surveillance agency.

@cyberlyra

if they are so data driven, why do they keep disappearing Americans?

It's even worse than this conveys... because states/feds are actually paying Peter Thiel +his "State Surveillance" companies to slurp up all of your data with no oversight... so those companies can use that data for *anything* they want.. with no opportunity for anyone to know anything about 'what they do with it" (except for 'leaks' like this, from their marketing materials)

The fossil fuel industry funds Trump's fascist movement.

Of course electricity & heating companies are handing over the data of private citizens to GOP megadonors & their nazi SS proxies.

It's yet another reason to smuggle in solar panels, form an energy co-op for neighborhood wind turbines, & switch to renewables.

The energy industry is imposing double digit rate increases for energy-hogs like AI & cryptocurrency data centers.

I watched this video of people interviewed asked if ICE/homeland were to go into there neighbors house and arrest them, would they be okay. They said "yea, if they did something bad." Interviewer "all they did was post a meme about Trump." Person "then yes, they deserve it." Goes on asking why, what reason. The person said "if they don't support how great Trump is doing for the country, then they deserve to be arrested." In conjunction with the information of utilities and ICE tracking, which was asked about (how ICE tracks people) and the response was about the same. Its really something that people are okay with that and how they think about technology that profits off them is also.
