“We’ve built this horrifying Orwellian surveillance industry over the last 10 to 20 years, and now ICE is buying access to all of it,” EFF’s Cooper Quintin told Minnesota’s Sahan Journal. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/ice-surveillance-technology-facial-recognition-phones-minnesota/

Sahan Journal

ICE’s surveillance technology goes beyond facial recognition

Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota – from facial recognition technology to ‘stingrays’ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

@eff
Not "we". THEY.
"We" (including you) have built tools to fight against the surveillance industry.
"We", are the victims of surveillance. THEY, are the perpetrators.

This is as clear a case of "us vs. them" as it can ever be. Us being "we the people", and them, the oligarchy. They have increased their wealth exponentially, we are barely getting by.

So "we" are not taking responsibility for the horrifying Orwellian surveillance industry *they* have built.

@eff

Only Republicans could have imagined putting ubiquitous access and privilege to American citizens' data into the hands of ruffians like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, neo-Nazi, white nationalists, and white supremacists united as ICE agents who get off on hunting helpless humans for sport.
