The document shows in stark terms the power, and potential risk, of online advertising data and how it can be leveraged by government agencies for surveillance purposes. The news comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) purchased similar tools that can monitor the movements of phones in entire neighbourhoods. ICE also recently said in public procurement documents it was interested in sourcing more “Ad Tech” data for its investigations. Following 404 Media’s revelation of that ICE purchase, on Tuesday a group of around 70 lawmakers urged the DHS oversight body to conduct a new investigation into ICE’s location data buying.

Unknown parent • • •@Davide_Sandini non mi pare che siano queste le conclusioni dell'articolo. In quale passaggio si dice che sia un passo avanti passare da una tecnosorveglianza religiosa oppressiva ad una religiosa genocida?
Gli unici messaggi che vedo sono due:
1. L'oppressione del regime, già schifosa, lo è ancor di più con la tecnosorveglianza
2. Ma la tecnosorveglianza è anche un punto di vulnerabilità per la sicurezza nazionale
