Trump's secret police are aiming to be the state surveillance organ for the regime. ICE has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media.

Why did it take so long for these “malicious smears”, as Gavin characterised them, to be addressed?

Smears, recommender systems, AI; it's been quite the two weeks in the presidential election. And the campaign has just begun. Wrote about this for @irishtimes.com.

Allegations about the presidential candidate received thousands of comments and nearly a million views, as platforms did little to stop the spread

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.”

Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil.

Simon Harris and Mary Lou McDonald still active on X , a platform that has promoted direct violence against them.

Seems bizarre to me and maybe the media who also are still all over the platform can ask them why they help bolster the platform by using it
