Hi everyone,
Share what you know about how ICE identifies and tracks people - MIDM (Man in the middle attacks) to intercept cell traffic, scraping social media, etc.
Also other surveillance stuff they use.
It would be nice if everyone shares what they know with each other so we can build a larger knowledge base :)
Ring doorbell cameras announced a partnership with Flock, which in turn has already been sharing information with ICE.
“Law enforcement agencies using Flock software can now issue Ring footage requests specifying location, timeframe, and case details, a move first reported by TechCrunch.”

To clarify, your article specifies that Ring only shares footage with explicit consent. Don’t share your footage publicly online, people

To expand on this a little, there are tonnes of options for spying on people but the key is tying your face to your identity. If you have a phone with you at a protest and they capture your IMSI (unique identifier for that handset) they can place you at the scene. They then only have to narrow down a little which face is tied to that phone and they know who you are. If they have a way of making a large database of faces and names, for example requiring ID and facial scans to access porn, then they can make this process much more rapid. It’s almost like there is some sort of overarching plan here, some sort of seizing of power through multiple fronts which are all connected and share interests, like how people who are all rich share the interest of further concentrating power in their own hands, just as an unrelated example.
