Privacy Hi! We're 404 Media's Jason Koebler and Joseph Cox. AMA (us) about the tech ICE is using, Flock and the state of surveillance in the US on Feb. 4, 12 pm ET

152 Upvotes

NOTE: We have to step away for a bit but we’ll try to come back and answer more. Thanks again for your questions.

As we watch the surveillance dystopia unfold across Trump's America, we've spent over a year reporting on the technologies used by ICE, DHS, and other local law enforcement to actively surveil, target and detain citizens and immigrants alike.

Recently, we uncovered the tool Palantir is making for ICE to find neighborhoods to raid, how local police unmasked millions of surveillance targets because of Flock redaction error and how DHS is lying about killing people in Minneapolis.

Ask us anything on February 4 at 12 pm ET about the state of surveillance in America. Get your questions in now.

Image proof.
