Summary

ICE is seeking private contractors to monitor social media for threats against its agents and leadership, but the program may also track general criticism of the agency.

The surveillance would analyze social media sentiment, flag negative mentions, and collect personal data, raising concerns over free speech and privacy.

Civil liberties advocates warn that such surveillance could be used to suppress dissent, calling it a dangerous overreach of government power.

    ICE is the Gestapo under the current US leadership.

    Hmmmm, oh I guess I am posting bad stuff about them.

    Well, considering that I am not even on the same continent as the US I don’t care what they think.

    If they didn’t want to be seen as the Gestapo, they can start by not conducting themselves as the Gestapo would.

    At least i can finally give a good example when people ask me why i’m trying to have control over my online data. “i don’t have anything to hide” is very dependant on the current political climate…

    Fuck ICE. At this point, any ICE agent with a soul would resign. I pray they each have a heart attack.
