It's not enough to have its agents in streets and schools; ICE now wants to see what data online ads already collect about you. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week issued a Request for Information (RFI) asking data and ad tech brokers how they could help in its mission.

I don't trust sites like Optery or DeleteMe to actually remove my data from data brokers.

Everyone always complains how the Germans are so backwards and why most of them are "backwards" and insistent about having data protection and privacy rights.

Maybe, just maybe the US is starting to learn why we're like this.ay, just maybe it'd been better to learn from our past than repeating it. But this way works, too, I guess?
