@Nonya_Bidniss #WhatIfIToldYou it literally is close to that in #Germany, as #minors can't consent to having their data harvested and parents can't sign off on that either?
A film that shows that the oppressed are a threat to power as they unite and break down the prejudices maintained by power to divide them.
Pride is a 2014 historical comedy-drama film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus. Based on a true story, it depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984,[3] at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign.

In the memo, #ICE said it had collected data from a number of sources on unaccompanied #minors & sorted them into 3 priority groups, "flight risk", "public safety" & "border security."
It directed agents to focus on #children deemed “flight risks” - including those ordered deported for missing court hearings & those released to sponsors who are not blood relatives.

The #Immigration and Customs Enforcement [#ICE] memo outlines an unprecedented push to target migrant #children who crossed the border illegally as unaccompanied #minors. It lays out 4 phases of implementation, beginning with a planning phase on January 27, though it did not provide a start date for enforcement operations.
#RainbowCapitalism and #Pinkwashing is bad.

The office has long operated independently of #ICE out of concern that the #minors’ #undocumented family members & sponsors may not come forward to claim them, fearing arrest.
A similar effort during #Trump’s first term drew swift outrage from #CivilLiberties groups who said it forced #children to stay in federal custody longer, & led to the #arrests of immigrant adults who had no #criminal histories.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement, or #ORR, at the Dept of Health & Human Services [#HHS], which maintains the database, is responsible for caring for unaccompanied #minors taken into #US custody along the border. The #refugee agency then identifies & screens potential sponsors who can take custody of the #teens & #children — often close relatives living in the US — to get them out of government shelters.

“[The] complaint alleges that the ex-Googlers who started #Character Technologies only left the giant company to train a #model that #Google considered too #dangerous to put out under its own name. The plan all along, the lawsuits allege, was to extract #sensitive #data from #minors and evolve the model so that Google could reacquire it and use it to power #Gemini.”

The change occurred #quietly with no official #announcement, but trans #advocates are #blasting the "#hateful policy.
Last week, #Paxton blocked trans people from being able to change the sex marker on their driver’s license. This is part of his sweeping policy to oppose #genderaffirming care for trans people, particularly trans #minors.

Jean-Michel Bernigaud, secretary general of #Ofmin, a French police agency focused on preventing #violence against #minors, said in a LinkedIn post Mon that #Durov’s #arrest was related to the app’s inability to deal w/offensive #content against minors.
“At the heart of the case is the absence of #moderation & cooperation on the part of the platform,” Bernigaud said, “especially in the fight against #ChildSexCrimes.”
"Thanks to a moral panic in the #GOP about 'indoctrination' in libraries, it seems that at least one library has decided to shut its door to children.
