How the #EU is building a dystopian, #surveillance-driven, #deportation machine: "Tech firms like #Palantir, #ClearviewAI and prison company Geo Group already provide the infrastructure used by #ICE in the US. As the EU expands its own version, lucrative contracts for surveillance technologies will proliferate."

How the EU is building a dystopian, surveillance-driven, deportation machine
