don't let this rogue agency deploy more invasive technologies. https://twitter.com/... Drew Olanoff / @yoda : Peter Thiel strikes again. https://twitter.com/... Anna Giaritelli / @anna_giaritelli : Good, long piece by @NickMiroff “An irony of CBP's contract with Anduril is that during the past three years that the Trump administration has spent billions of dollars to put up a physical barrier, technological advances have finally made a virtual wall system feasible.” https://twitter.com/... Tonya Riley / @tonyajoriley : “The five-year agreement between U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Anduril Industries calls for the company to deploy hundreds of solar-powered mobile surveillance towers designed to operate in rugged locations.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Dara Lind / @dlind : I'm so old, I remember when “virtual barrier” was the status quo that Trump's wall was supposed to upend. https://twitter.com/... Nick Miroff / @nickmiroff : EXCLUSIVE the Trump administration is hiring defense contractor and artificial intelligence firm Anduril to build the kind of “virtual border wall” system Democrats have often praised, designating it as an official program of record https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Joshua Brustein / @joshuabrustein : CBP and Anduril confirm they're planning on placing 200 surveillance towers on the southern border, but not using the company's surveillance drones https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
“Anduril's founder, 27-year-old Palmer Luckey, sold his previous company, Oculus, to Facebook for $3 billion in 2014. He was forced out at Facebook in 2017 after a donation to a pro-Trump group angered co-workers.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
CBP was caught flying military-grade drones over protests in Minneapolis LAST MONTH. Congress, don't be fooled again — don't let this rogue agency deploy more invasive technologies. https://twitter.com/...
