From its inception ICE has taken the role of the German SS, which is to say a paramilitary force loyal to the administration rather than to the Constitution (what FBI was during the J. Edgar Hoover era) It was that way though George W. Bush's admin as well as the Obama admin.
ICE also lent itself out to corporations and trade organizatiobs. They raided the Dotcom estate in New Zealand, and they raided Florida repair shops that did unauthorized (but effective) repairs on Apple products (an event that fueled the right-to-repair movement).
To not talk to ICE. Do not associate with anyone who associates with ICE. Do not cooperate with Law Enforcement that cooperates with ICE.
Eventually when agents and collaborators of the Trump regime are tracked by Nazi-hunters (whatever they call the new iteration of hunters) ICE agents and their collaborators will be the highest priority.
Remember ICE is the agency raiding houses and taking people without due process to CECOT in El Salvador where they suffer tortuous, inhumane conditions comparable to gulags and WWII concentration camps.
The new holocaust is here.
Serious question: how do they avoid siphoning up data from states or countries with data protection regulations?
Easy: you don't.
Nobody has the balls to chase these ghouls down for illegally accessing information, most especially because our government is the ones enabling them to do this.
ShadowDragon?!? Why not IncelMaxx?
Sounds one of Elon Musk's gaming handles.
All they do is combine data from bunch of different data brokers, including a few that sell hacked data. They are likely breaking multiple laws. Someone could put the same thing together that targets law enforcement and politicians. I'm sure it already exists.
I have thought of a scenario like this like what if people get so tired of crooked trigger happy cops that they use some sort of app or website or service that can tell you where every single cop is in the city in real time. To avoid them. Something like not just a scanner but an actual interactive real time map.
Idk if it would actually be possible and maybe not even legal but it is an interesting idea to think about. If such a service existed it would make so much money.
