"Meta has started blocking links to ICE List, a website that compiles information about incidents involving Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents, and lists thousands of their employees' names. It seems that the latter detail is what caused Meta to take action in a move that was first reported by Wired. ICE List is a crowdsourced Wiki that describes itself as "an independently maintained public documentation project focused on immigration-enforcement activity" in the US."
"According to , the website's creators said much of that information had come from a "leak," though it appears to be based largely on public LinkedIn profiles. The site went viral earlier this month when it claimed to have uploaded a leaked list of 4,500 DHS employees to its site, but a WIRED analysis found that the list relied heavily on information the employees shared publicly about themselves on sites such as LinkedIn."
Meta has started blocking links to ICE List on Facebook and Threads after the site listed thousands of ICE and Border Patrol employees' names. ICE List is a crowdsourced wiki describing itself as an independently maintained public documentation project focused on immigration-enforcement activity in the US. The site catalogs incidents and names of individual agents associated with ICE, CBP, and other DHS agencies. Creators claimed some information came from a leak, but Wired found the list relied heavily on information employees shared publicly on LinkedIn. Previously shared links now produce error messages and new shares are blocked with notices citing spam.
