Completely on brand for this fascist regime.

Many of my criticisms of certain tech and all surveillance capitalism have to do with my fierce belief in the importance of privacy and other individual rights, and the tech co’s determination to strip everyone of privacy and destroy individual rights.

We can’t have #democracy without #privacy and #humanrights. So of course the Trump regime and supporting Republican and tech fascists would label people who care about and advocate for both as “extremists” to try and sully and dismiss the message while hoping to chill public discourse. Everyone who heard “censorship” wave your hand. 1st Amendment, lol.

Also helps loot the Americans more easily if payments can be made with taxpayer monies for [ahem] “necessary!!” “AI!!” with less scrutiny.

Anyway, I’m sure this will totally help the US recover the billions it is losing in decreased visitors to the US, and lucky for them tech doesn’t cross borders more easily than people.

“Clear Racism”: Trump Admin Blocks Refugee Resettlement, Except for White South Africans

The Trump administration is advancing plans to resettle an additional 10,000 white South Africans in the United States as refugees. Under President Trump’s proposal, which was submitted to Congress on Monday, the U.S. would lift its record-low refugee admissions figure from 7,500 to 17,500, with the additional openings reserved for Afrikaners. This comes as the administration continues to block the entry of refugees from other countries. The U.S. has resettled just over 6,000 refugees between October and April — all except three were from South Africa. Trump has said Afrikaners face racial persecution and genocide in South Africa, claims that have been rejected by the U.N. Human Rights Office, among others. Last year, he cut off aid to the country and boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg. “Whiteness is being recast as endangered,” says Lebohang Pheko, a professor of practice at the University of Johannesburg. “There is a move towards the alt-right, the MAGA discourse, which is about replacement theory, and which is absolutely about displacing the idea that anything other than whiteness is normative.” Pheko also suggests that Trump’s actions toward South Africa are retribution for the genocide case it brought against Israel at the International Court of Justice. “We are processing resettlement cases for white Afrikaners at a record pace,” adds Sharif Aly, president of the International Refugee Assistance Project, which is currently litigating a class-action lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s dismantling of the United States refugee program. “This program has never been a fast program, and it’s being expedited for just this one population.” While Afrikaners are being quickly resettled, “thousands of other people who have went through years of vetting, who have went through years of persecution and violence,” are being blocked from entering the U.S., says Aly.
