“ICE🚨is now using a🚨Palantir tool to map neighborhoods and assign “deportation scores” in “target-rich environments” fed by HHS data.
🚨Today it’s immigrants.🚨Tomorrow it’s dissidents.
🚨If you think this won’t be repurposed for activists or protesters, you aren't paying attention.”

Even if it's voluntary, Digital ID still creates a surveillance infrastructure.
This could be expanded later on as a requirement to access public services.
As we've seen with eVisas, digitalising interactions with the UK State without physical backups creates serious problems.
The UK government's climbdown over mandatory Digital ID is a victory for ORG and other groups that warned of the threats to everyone's civil liberties.
BUT questions still remain.
Despite this latest U-turn, neither the scheme nor the giant pricetag have gone away entirely.

Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.
Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.
To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone less safe. You dickheads are the problem.
