ICE surveillance concerns shift Democrats’ demands for body cameras
Critics fear the cameras could be used to feed video of protesters into facial recognition tools.

#Section230 is why our internet is open to LGBTQ+ youths who are surviving abusive homes. Shame on those who call its repeal "accountability" when it's actually about silencing marginalized voices. Without it, platforms would drown in frivolous lawsuits designed to erase queer existence.
We’re now entering the 30th anniversary of Section 230 and there’s a bipartisan effort to repeal it- which will mean free speech no more for the internet.
We’ll be getting into it this week- for now, get those phones ready to fire up and call your reps: www.whatissection230.org

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Worth noting that a lot of this surveillance infrastructure was funded and promoted by Democrats who framed it as a more humane alternative to Trump’s “wall”
The evidence suggests the “surveillance wall” actually lead to more deaths in the desert

Tech deployed at the border “includes everything from hyper-visible tethered aerostats — massive blimp-like detection platforms hovering thousands of feet over the desert — to stealthy devices like unattended ground sensors to detect footsteps, and license plate scanners disguised as traffic cones.”

Surveillance technology has long been part of policing the border. ICE’s growing raids are bringing it to many other areas.

You missed the connection between ICE identifying and prosecuting activists and their wearing of body cams. As @fightforthefuture.org pointed out, that requiring every ICE agent to wear a body cam gives them more opp to ID protesters
And, the protesters are now doing the job of taping ICE activity

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

The problem that many adults do not seem to realize about "age verification" is that everyone who is not a teen will have to provide ID (and personal data) to prove it. It's not about protecting kids, it's to control everyone.
