While it's theoretically possible that this technology could work effectively, given the people involved, this project is probably a complete bamboozle that will divert funds away from enforcing the deportation of immigrants.

In that light, it's probably a good thing.

> it's probably a good thing.

Nah, much like the app it’s all about plausible deniability. It’ll be crap… but they’ll just make it give positive matches to as many people as possible so they can be dragged off.

You're overthinking it. They're going to give Meta a lot of money for the existing glasses to do the same thing but slap a stamp called 'secure' on them.

It's just some grift economy.

An "emergency" no-bid contract awarded to a company with connections to Trump that has increased from $2 million to $15 million. And doesn't fix any underlying issues with the pool leaks.

Small potatoes compared to estimated $7 billion in insider trades made on oil and betting markets, front running announcements on the illegal Iran war. [0]

The corruption is sickening.

It isn't, all that money they're asking for is a grift, you don't need tens of billions of dollars for ethnic cleansing, poorer countries and their dictators manage with much less. It makes ethnic cleansing a more profitable endeavor for these scum, and that money will go a long way for protecting them against the sheepish democrats that will use lawyers judges to go after them.
