DHS Demands Social Media Giants Turn Over Names Of ICE Critics
Homeland Security is expanding their web of privacy intrusions to identify Americans who criticized ICE on social media by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind accounts that track or criticize ICE
Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta have gotten hundreds of administrative subpoenas from DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests. They talked to the NYTimes on the basis of anonymity.
Google, Meta and Reddit complied with some of the requests, officials said. In the subpoenas, the department asked the companies for identifying details of accounts that do not have a real person’s name attached and that have criticized ICE or pointed to the locations of ICE agents.
Basically, they say that reporting where they're rounding people up or CRITICIZING them is a THREAT to thos big armored men with guns.
It's unconstitutional, but by the time the courts knock them down, they will scare the living hell out of people.
