Thanks @techpolicypress.bsky.social for the opportunity to reflect on social media surveillance and migration under the Trump Administration, referencing great work by @nanjala.bsky.social and @danmcquillan.bsky.social, and reporting by @aclu.org and @404media.co, among others

AI use is rapidly growing in DHS for social media surveillance, visa revocations, and deportations—an alarming trend evident even before Trump’s second term, warns Paromita Shah, co-founder and executive director of Just Futures Law.

While marginalized communities are the most affected, not even the powerful are immune - like ex-CISA director Chris Krebs. www.forbes.com/sites/tonybr... - Tony Bradley @forbes.com Silence from the cybersecurity community - only a few spoke out, like @k8em0.bsky.social @lutasecurity.bsky.social

#CrossCommunityJournalism is a collaboration between the MTM, @fromsea2city.bsky.social and @rosaluxstiftung.bsky.social. A Greek and a Lebanese reporter, both based in #Thessaloniki, will join forces to make #localreporting on #migration more equitable. #BuildingBridges #Humanrights

Automated self-deportation: #CBPhome is part of #Trump's immigration reforms. The app invites people to initiate their own deportation process, @aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social reports. Earlier this year, Trump took down #CBPOne, the only way for #asylumseekers to get an appointment at the border.

Another avoidable tragedy in the central Mediterranean: 6 dead, 40 missing after shipwreck near Lampedusa. Survivors reported that some of the missing had fallen off the boat in rough seas. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

🚨Don’t miss this excellent piece by the amazing journalist @waelqarssifi.bsky.social, our @migrationtechmonitor.com 2023 Fellow reflecting on the importance of data protection in post-Assad Syria (Available in English and Arabic) www.migrationtechmonitor.com/blog/cujot17...

The fall of Assad’s terror regime in Syria created a very complex and developing situation. Amid this reality, data safety does not seem like a priority. In this @migrationtechmonitor.com piece I explain why the issue should not be ignored. www.migrationtechmonitor.com/blog/cujot17...

#DataSecurity does not come to mind as a priority in post-Assad #Syria. But effective protection of citizens’ data goes hand in hand with fundamental rights. #MTM ’s @waelqarssifi.bsky.social explains why Syrians should worry. www.migrationtechmonitor.com/blog/cujot17... #dataprotection
