I feel like there’s a big difference between snatching people off the street and making ad targeting smarter. Yeah they both suck, but orders of magnitude here.
I’m not American so I don’t know the tools ICE uses and if social listening or whatever it is called is one of those tools.

I’ve been working mostly on the analysis side of things, currently I do this for a consumer goods company.

when these types of tools are used to decide whomto snatch I hope that is cold comfort
