"As we await the outcome of the investigation into this terrible incident, CBP will continue to evaluate detention procedures, medical procedures, and medical providers for ways to further improve our standards," says Troy Miller, acting commissioner of #CBP regarding the death of a 29-year-old woman in Border Patrol custody in #Texas on Tuesday. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/speeches-and-statements/statement-cbp-senior-official-performing-duties-commissioner-1

#USA #CBP #SocialMedia #Surveillance #DHS #AI #EmotionRecognition: "Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company that uses artificial intelligence to detect “sentiment and emotion” in online posts, according to a cache of documents obtained by 404 Media.

CBP told 404 Media it is using technology to analyze open source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers “AI-enabled” object recognition in images and video, and detection of “risk terms and phrases” across multiple languages, according to one of the documents.

Marketing materials promote the software’s ability to provide targeted data collection from big social platforms like Facebook and Reddit, but also specifically names smaller communities like 4chan, 8kun, and Gab."

US journalism gets worse and worse. They're right, Trump is ridiculous criticizing #ETIAS (€8 for an electronic visa waiver to be able to visit the European Union) - but mentioning #ESTA - the #CBP program which does exactly the same for visa free entry - would have been basic journalist work - and this didn't happen. The reader now thinks only Europe does that.
