What's really scary about this is that someone apparently has a list of black people
Now wait until you hear what happened with 23andMe.

And I'm both amazed and quite worried that nothing has come of it yet.
Yet. Give them time, they'll need to figure out where it can be best integrated into Project 2025.
That's why I'm worried.
Given the state of data harvesting I imagine purchasing a list of phone numbers associated with a given demographic is trivial.
Google has that list, and it's for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.
Google doesn't sell their private data collection. They use it to target ads so it's the most valuable thing they have (or as they would call it their "unfair advantage"), so selling it directly is out of question. There are multiple data brokers that also have very comprehensive lists that will happily sell it to anyone.
They sell the targeting, from there it's simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.
You're gonna lose your mind when you hear about the census office. This last census also mandated you disclose your sexual preferences and gender identity. They have a list of black and brown people, LGBTQ+ people, and trans people. 😬
They absolutely did not mandate that.
Seriously? You're going to conflate government census data with a hate list?
Is that sarcasm or does it really need to be explained to you how a tyrannical government would use that data for hate?
The problem is that you're putting the entirety of the government and all the departments into a singular "they". There may be a point where separation fails, but you're already treating it like Vance has unrestricted access to everything.
I think you need to learn more about fascism, preferably within the next two months.
I just said there may be a point where separation fails.
Yes, and it was last Tuesday.
Anything and everything is now one Official Act and Supreme Court ruling away.
I didn't know there were fascists on here unaware that they were fascists
That data in the wrong hands...
Not that hard to buy people's data these days.
You could get a highschool kid to build this with available data.
Nothing to hide nothing to fear. Till suddenly u got so thing to hide. I hate to say it but i fucking told you so.
No kidding. When I heard about this I asked how the fuck do they even know it's a black person.
