Under the Trump administration, multiple US government agencies are using AI and other tools to broadly track the social media of tourists and immigrants – and potentially to watch US citizens as well

It appears that the US federal government is investing more public funds in such tech tools, says Paromita Shah at Just Futures Law, an immigration advocacy non-profit in Washington DC. “We’re witnessing a real-time expansion of the use of social media monitoring technologies,” says Shah. “When you use social media monitoring to intimidate, harass, alienate, deport, incarcerate, arrest – when that becomes your standard to do those things – it’s antithetical to a lot of what democracy stands for.”

      For decades. This shit is going to take a very long time to course correct, even after Agent Orange is removed from the Soiled House.

        Gen Z or Alpha might see a return to life as good as 2015 in their lifetimes. The rest of us? Nope.

          Bold of you to assume that Gen Z and Alpha will have the medical care to live that long in a US with even worse healthcare than people have in the past few decades.
