Yet another overt sign by the Epstein administration of their desire to undermine our constitutional democracy and instill authoritarian fascism in the US:
Link: Kristi Noem's DHS secretly demands tech giants fork over names of ICE critics: report - Raw Story
"The Department of Homeland Security has expanded efforts to identify Americans who criticize or track Immigration and Customs Enforcement, sending hundreds of legal requests to major tech companies seeking information behind social media accounts, according to a report in The New York Times.
In recent months, DHS has issued administrative subpoenas to Google, Meta, Reddit, and Discord requesting names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other identifying data tied to accounts that comment on or monitor ICE activity."
"Criticizing" and "Commenting" on ICE is constitutionally guaranteed free speech as clearly outlined in the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. Period. No further discussion required.
This is what fascist dictatorships do to quell dissent among their populace and to intimidate anyone daring to speak truth to power about the criminal actions of a despotic, corrupt regime.
And don't be fooled. If this corrupt bunch are allowed to get away with silencing and persecuting Americans who "criticize" or "comment" publicly about the constitution-shredding, criminal antics of their goon ICE agency, then it gives them free license to silence and persecute any citizen of this country, for any reason they choose. And no matter how you look at it, that is not 'freedom.'
The backlash is growing nationally against DHS and ICE and their criminally inept leadership. Summarily executing two white Americans in broad daylight on camera certainly has contributed to that backlash.
And it should really concern many more Americans that recent news reporting indicates ICE is spending upwards of $40 billion in US taxpayer money to buy up huge warehouse properties across the country, and that they intend to convert these warehouses into giant factories of caged humans where up to 10,000 prisoners and kidnappees will be housed and treated inhumanely until the criminally corrupt regime can 'process' them.
When was the last time we saw a major, industrialized nation on this planet caging large numbers of humans in massive structures? If you have to think more than 5 seconds about that, here's a helpful hint: Adolf Hitler's rise to power - Wikipedia.
So no, giving a vindictive DHS the power to subpoena ANYONE's private data solely for being critical commentators on the clearly unconstitutional actions by a rogue agency of masked paramilitary goons is not acceptable at all.
And if the Drumpf fluffing owners of Google, Farcebook/Meta, Reddit, or any of these other parasitic media/social media platforms go down that path, there is going to be a mass exodus and rejection of their products to follow.
I personally am already in the process of divesting myself from Google products as much as I can and long ago abandoned Farcebook and Xshitter. Those weren't easily made choices, but they were necessary choices.
