I can’t express how much I hate developers who do destructive things like this.

And I know
"hate" is a very strong word...

(Below her)
…Which is why I specifically said it.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

So anyone who thought the military would remain on the good side and not plunge giddily into the DJT abyss….

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

What?

Of all outlets, the Weather Channel was using GofA in some on-screen graphics at least during the summer. Since I haven’t watched it since then I can’t say if it still is…

When DJT tells him to let 42 million Americans go hungry, he will let 42 million Americans go hungry.

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion.nytimes.com · 1d

“Saturday will be another grim milestone. That is the day about 42 million Americans will lose federal food assistance,” writes Senator Josh Hawley. “Congress must not let that happen.”
