The 200+ Sites an ICE Surveillance Contractor is Monitoring


404 Media has obtained the list of sites and services that ICE contractor ShadowDragon pulls data from. ShadowDragon sources data from all over the web and lets government analysts easily search it and draw connections between people.

“SocialNet is just one example of the unchecked surveillance ecosystem that lacks any meaningful transparency, oversight, or accountability that allows the government to circumvent Constitutional and statutory protections to access sensitive personal data,” he added. “HSI INTEL must remain diligent in seeking new and improved means of combatting the challenges that face our Law Enforcers and Intelligence Analysts for identifying, tracking, investigating and apprehending criminal entities. SocialNet data adds to HSI INTEL's ability to successfully meet those mission goals and their public responsibility by leveraging capabilities with proven results for both cyber or physical criminal investigations and social media forensics,” it continues.
