Great technology runs the immigration campaign from Trump Social media

“Immigrants are dirty pieces of s ***.” This is the type of statement that Meta will not be reported as hate speech on their Facebook and Instagram platforms, according to the policies announced in A. leak Its distribution document before the company days before the opening of Donald Trump. Policies are supposed to be necessary because classifying data such as hate speech, according to Meta Mark Zuckerberg CEO, “away from the prevailing speech.”

This change in the “prevailing” speech was necessary to prepare the Earth for the new immigration policies of Trump, and indicates an appropriate and profitable arrangement between those who control data and those who control the border. The alignment was clear on the opening day, as the senior executive managers, the so -called Brucelgari, was guests of honor after making major donations to Trump’s campaign.

But Big Tech, which provides its services to support brutal immigration policies is not a new phenomenon. A long time ago, Trump, the United States government was cooperating with technology companies to build a large -scale monitoring device that could target not only migrants, but anyone.

Instead of relying only on the data that it can collect legally, the government has completed these records with the information that you buy from data brokers, who provide comprehensive profiles about demographic, consumer, consumer, site, education, insurance and financial – whether captured by your phone, your car or the utility meter .

Companies such as Palantir, Amazon, Salesforce and others have provided services to integrate all the sources of information differentiated into tools that can be used to target migrants. Among the services, the ICE An enforcement agency (ICE) actively seeks to “predict and modeling analyzes.” It is estimated that since 2020, ICE and other relevant agencies have spent $ 7.8 billion through 15,000 contracts with 263 private companies on immigration technologies.

Since 2004, the United States government has also been investing more resources in “Carcara”, which includes technologies such as ankle bracelets. In 2018, ICE has partnered with BI Inc to create Smartlink, a phone that focuses on monitoring as a “human” alternative to detention. Despite its privacy allegations, independent reports describe how Smartlink combines all kinds of sensitive data, including “face images, audio prints, medical information, pregnancy and births”.

The government also gathered a huge amount of DNA for migrants as part of a project that started during the first period of Trump, but Joe Biden was followed by it. The authorities claim that the data will help them resolve the future crimes committed by immigrants, although official statistics indicate that migrants are committing less crimes than citizens born in the United States.

The role of great technology in implementing the United States immigration policy will only expand during the second period of Trump. The president was not lost time in achieving anchor in his campaign, as he issued a number of executive orders that already turned immigration policy.

These orders aim to end the newly born citizenship, expand the raids to the “sanctuary” areas such as schools and churches, trial of citizens who refuse to cooperate with the authorities, end the launch of migrants while waiting for their decisions in their cases, canceling all asylum dates, expanding them and expanding them a group of individuals who are not documented for deportation Rapid-between other measures.

Trump’s executive orders can be challenged in the courts. This is the reason for legitimacy to the hate speech in the public domain: it can secure its prevailing consent and thus discourages legal challenges. This is where major technology companies play a big role, thanks to the kidnapping of freedom of expression.

“Freedom of expression”, when unilaterally enjoyed the powerful, can be a form of censorship, a weapon of persecution and destruction. We have seen this in Myanmar in 2017, and we see him in Palestine today. In these and other cases, companies such as Meta and X played an active role in using technology to enhance speech that images weak groups, and opened the door to physical violence against them.

A mixture of extremist policy and corporate technologies in the service of anti-immigrant discourse-as well as black anti-woman, anti-women, LGBTQ and anti-Muslim discourse-will make the hot public field over the next few years. Myanmar has not been modest. She confirmed to her the kind of strength she could wave.

This is why companies such as Meta and X are now contrary to what it takes to prevent something like that again (in terms of moderation, safety and privacy), and providing this power to Trump, as we saw in Springfield, Ohio, where social media fueled madness Anti -immigration before the American presidential election.

Facing this problem is not just the issue of obtaining literacy skills in the media necessary to fight misleading information on Facebook or X. In the post -portal world, everyone realizes these platforms that the narration with the most “likes” “or” stocks “win, And it becomes the truth – at least for them.

While it is convenient to blame Trump and his supporters for disasters that are about to reveal in the near future, it is important to remember that Democrats have largely supported new liberal policies represented first.

Given that none of the parties is able to clarify a viable political agenda to protect the basic human rights of migrants, resistance should appear at local levels. This can be done by challenging illegal deportations in local courts, opposing misinformation through local media, and strengthening ties between local, national and international civil organizations. It is encouraging to see cities, villages, churches and schools that continue to adopt the sanctuary policies, and refuse to cooperate with the federal government in implementing foreign policies, even as they threaten Trump’s executive orders.

The opposition will become more difficult in the face of the Klepto-Fascist country that the All-Fascist is recognized by the richest men in the world, and the men who gained their strength by taking a look at the colonial data. While we see Genai continues this looting, we must reject the founding colonial lie: when it comes to reaching the world’s resources, it may be correct. The well -being of migrants, and in fact all of our luxury, depends largely on whether we can collect power collectively to dictate the data collected from us, and for what purpose we want to use this resource.
