That seems like a redundant waste of money. Just call the NSA.

NSA has a real job protecting banks from heists and stealing bitcoin to fund the CIA. ICE is just a bunch of a fake jobs to terrorize people

Will? Pretty sure they already have been

So, not Palantir? because I thought they were already using that.

Full Nazi, there's zero precedent for immigration customs enforcement to comb through social media, this is full on Nazi to label non Nazis and profile non Nazis

Why do they need to do that if they are only looking for criminals and gang members? What does free speech, political or otherwise, have to do with anything?

We should add hidden messages to fuck with the ai in every post or comment.

I don't like how everything is AI ...its... not AI..

Does anyone have an idea how these programs work? Is it just public profiles/posts they can see?
