ICE and the Smartphone Panopticon A new wave of digital tools has emerged to help citizens monitor Trump’s crackdown. But internet surveillance can also be used against you.

"Applications of technology that are friendly to the Administration are going unchallenged, in part because tech companies have become increasingly willing to support Trump's whims...

Only tools that exist independent of Big Tech seem like safe bets for dissent."
