"United States immigration authorities are moving to dramatically expand their social media surveillance, with plans to hire nearly 30 contractors to sift through posts, photos, and messages—raw material to be transformed into intelligence for deportation raids and arrests.
Federal contracting records reviewed by WIRED show that the agency is seeking private vendors to run a multiyear surveillance program out of two of its little-known targeting centers. The program envisions stationing nearly 30 private analysts at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities in Vermont and Southern California. Their job: Scour Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms, converting posts and profiles into fresh leads for enforcement raids.
The initiative is still at the request-for-information stage, a step agencies use to gauge interest from contractors before an official bidding process. But draft planning documents show the scheme is ambitious: ICE wants a contractor capable of staffing the centers around the clock, constantly processing cases on tight deadlines, and supplying the agency with the latest and greatest subscription-based surveillance software."

I think it would be a good idea to animate old record art covers, they were really cool, but it costs more, I had to use a more powerful GPU, thus electricity bills, etc..
For one like? Nah #ROI
And a very good hands-on about the "potential" for genAI usage for artists. #Socialmedia a sinkhole #shrug

Norwegian #DataProtection Authority on #Ageverification for #SocialMedia
> The government is proposing a new law on age limits for social media use. We have no objections to the legal establishment of such an #AgeLimit, but we believe that the proposal on age verification requirements in particular has not been sufficiently examined.

„Wir waren unglaublich naiv, als wir unseren demokratischen Raum sozialen Netzwerken anvertrauten, die entweder von großen amerikanischen Unternehmern oder großen chinesischen Unternehmen kontrolliert werden, deren Interessen überhaupt nicht das Überleben oder das reibungslose Funktionieren unserer Demokratien sind.“ – Macron
