ICE is using social media posts to track immigrants they've targeted for arrest
- lm28469 7y agoIs this really surprising though ? If I was illegally living in a country I'd probably avoid posting on a social media altogether, especially not tagging my location. ("after he “checked in” to a Home Depot on Facebook.") > “If anything you post online can be used against you forever, even if you pose no immediate threat to anyone, then the dragnet that people feared would happen under Trump is already happening,” Trump or not it was already happening. It's the next logical step of social media / data collection. Especially in post 9/11 paranoid USA. People have been warning us from the very beginning but no one took it seriously, now we're paying the price.
