Trump’s new AI “accord” has no actual government regulator enforcing it, no penalties for violations, no disclosure requirement and no implementation deadline. The companies choose their own auditors. This isn’t regulation. It’s the consolidation of an unaccountable tech mafia.

Hard to keep track of just how illegal this all is. DHS quietly updated policies to DELETE people with final deportation orders from databases--even while they are still inside US concentration camps. They also stopped sharing where people are held in phone calls with attorneys or family. #ICEOUT
