    In case you haven’t noticed, ICE does exactly what the Gestapo did in nazi Germany. Mass surveillance, razzia’s, operating in civilian clothes, crimes against humanity, sending people to concentration camps. The people are deported to foreign concentration camps, the only difference is the people ending up in death camps, so far, as far as we know of. But how much do we know about those foreign concentration camps?

      El Salvador is literally running a death camp, they don’t plan to ever release the prisoners. They just keep them alive for free labor and to avoid the stigma of running a Holocaust; but Germany was the same at first, they only ramped up the death at the end of the war.

      What about the Aligator Alcatraz (or something) that 800 bodies disappeared?

      Do you think Lemmy will be exempt?

        I think it’s more difficult to identify me from an anonymous account where I don’t even talk about myself that much than from an account under their legal name with a bunch of pictures of themselves.

        not large enough to be a worthy target yet, IMO

        Maybe community needs to work in a way lemmy does not have too much loving of posts, so protects privacy. It’s possible since it’s open source.

      ChatGPT also told me it was reason 452fishdodgeball🥧 to not use AI as well.

      Look who thinks just because they don’t have an account social media and ai aren’t surveiling them, they could never never link you /s

    Or course they will, what did people expect?

    People have been saying for years that if the nazi shit happened nowadays it would be a wet dream for them with all and everything online, easily accessible and already categorized.

    This seems like the kind of thing that would be easily susceptible to manipulation by more AI.

      Or even fed false information by not AI.

        Accuracy doesn't matter when they are just using it to justify their targeting of brown people.

    Couldn’t people send them on wild goose chases by flooding social media with “I saw an illegal over in x area” and then send them to the whitest county in America?

      What we’ve learnt over the last decade or so is that it’s a lot easier to generate bullshit than it is to verify it.

    There are going to be so, so many false positives.

    Not that it matters. The shitty data LLM’s produce hasn’t stopped them yet.

    • Zron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      False positives implies the people will be real.

      It’ll probably just invent people to hunt down and waste a bunch of tax dollars.

    The five-year contract with government technology middleman Carahsoft Technology, made public in September, provides Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) licenses for a product called Zignal Labs, a social media monitoring platform used by the Israeli military and the Pentagon.

    It doesn’t take AI analytics to figure out I’m as far left as they get and come pre-radicalized. I’m the ANTIFA overlord they’re looking for.

    I’ve practically invited them to breach my door.
