The article discusses Meta's controversial shift in defining hate speech, particularly against immigrants, citing a leaked document revealing its alignment with mainstream political discourse. This change, which coincided with Trump's inauguration, reflects a broader relationship between Big Tech and U.S. immigration policies. Historically, tech companies have collaborated with the government to develop surveillance tools that impact a wide array of individuals. The narrative highlights an ongoing partnership with companies like Palantir and Amazon to create predictive analytics for targeting immigrants, reinforcing concerns about the erosion of privacy rights in the name of immigration control.
The alignment was clearly visible on inauguration day, where Big Tech CEOs, the so-called broligarchy, were guests of honour after having made substantial donations to Trump's campaign.
Since well before Trump, the US government has been partnering with tech companies to build an extensive surveillance apparatus that can target not just immigrants, but anybody.
