“ICE🚨is now using a🚨Palantir tool to map neighborhoods and assign “deportation scores” in “target-rich environments” fed by HHS data.

🚨Today it’s immigrants.🚨Tomorrow it’s dissidents.

🚨If you think this won’t be repurposed for activists or protesters, you aren't paying attention.”

ICE, for its part, is taking pictures of people on the street and using an app called Mobile Fortify to check the images against databases, officials said. And it is wielding its $30 billion budget, tripled by Trump’s sweeping 2025 budget legislation, to expand its surveillance capabilities with data from license-plate readers, social media scrapers and location-tracking services.

📍 ‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid // Ben Werdmuller

“Palantir is working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address, 404 Media has learned. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based.”

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!
