Wow I'm happy I never used TikTok.

Last month’s Americanization of TikTok is perhaps the zenith of this strategy. While liberal hawks cheered the platform’s transition to the jumble of jargon now known officially as TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC as a win for national security, they ignored the details written in the fine print. TikTok’s Terms of Service now explicitly include tracking of location and citizenship status (among other identity markers, such as sex).
Perhaps most dangerously, ICE is now utilizing advanced social media monitoring to perform “sentiment analysis.” By scraping TikTok and other platforms, they can monitor the emotional and political temperature of entire geographic areas, identifying resistance hot spots. This completely undermines the particularity requirement of the Fourth Amendment.

yes we are. Voters here are just stupid, Trump told everyone he'd do this and a lot of people said sure.

Just saw the new video of ICE executing someone else. I am so enraged. MN should arrest those “agents” and they should go to prison. #AbolishICE #FuckICE

Saw this on Bluesky, jobs in NYC in the Mandami administration. I'm kinda jealous. Not sure what hashtags to use to get this in front of people looking for a job. #FediHire

I haven't heard anything concrete from my friends who are NASA civil servants about if this happened today but it sounds grim.

Favorite signs from today's protest in Huntsville, AL. Everyone is pissed at Elon. A bunch of local activist groups were there and it was a great chance to make some connections. There were lots of American flags which made me happy. #coup #fireelon #50501protests
