How? With technology handed to them by Palantir.
This is a complete breach of Minnesotans’ privacy, and I won’t stand for it.
The EU outsources its abuses to Libya. Then outsources accountability for these abuses to Libya. Then outsources the vetting of the people committing them. Also to Libya. And when asked directly? Outsources the answer to bureaucratic fog. 🧵
Unfortunately this is not new. Greece, with the tacit approval of the EU in general, has long been carrying out actions which put people seeking asylum in harms way, along with so many other EU countries and FRONTEX. International law is repeatedly ignored.
