Like ICE
I feel like there's a big difference between snatching people off the street and making ad targeting smarter. Yeah they both suck, but orders of magnitude here.
The word you're looking for is "spying".
when these types of tools are used to decide whomto snatch I hope that is cold comfort
Yes of course, but the excuse is the same
I can use a knife to open a box or open a person. Are these things the same because I used the same tool?
I'm not American so I don't know the tools ICE uses and if social listening or whatever it is called is one of those tools. But if your reasoning for opening the box and the reasoning for opening the person is the same.. well it's the same. Different outcomes, same reason
