> expressing particular interest in those that identify employees of the U.S. Border Patrol or share real-time information on enforcement activity.

So doxxing cops. Headline is misleading.

Why is knowing the identities of the people who have power over you a problem? I pay their salaries.

Why is it a problem? They aren't doing anything they should be worried about the public knowing, right? Right?

Full quote, please:

  ... or share real-time information on enforcement activity. The administration claims the accounts are engaged in doxing and endanger officer safety, but they have also targeted social media users seemingly doing nothing more than expressing anger at the government.

\1 masked goon squads are for questionable dictatorships.

\2 US citizens are free to say "the police are over there"

\3 US citizens are free to express angaer at their government.

Why do you pretend that laws matter when the current government is showing every waking second that they do not? To the extent they've been called back by judges dozens and dozens of times, for breaking the law? Yet they keep breaking new laws?

[flagged]

Well, they're not all men and they are meting out plenty of violence, civil rights violations and lies in court that are getting cases thrown out left and right.

Lying about killing civilians, lying about being assaulted with a sandwich, lying about a college professor trying to move a gas canister away from someone in a wheelchair.

ICE should be abolished and they should all be barred from future public service.

[flagged]

They’re not vigilantes. But ICE is a paramilitary with no accountability.

Not a single question mark to be seen in your comment, nor the one you replied to.

I continued on the topic you brought up, "the law" and its relevance.

Making the info of public employees public. Don’t want your info public, don’t become a a servant of the public.

Besides US law clearly says their personal information isn’t theirs. We should be celebrating this person allowing public employees to hear the views of the public they serve.

For someone who constantly whines about political advocacy on HN, you sure do engage in a lot of political advocacy on HN.
