ICESPY

How does this work?

First we downloaded hundreds of ICE employee photos from LinkedIn. Then we processed them using local face recognition technology to create face descriptors. When you take a photo we analyze it locally in your browser and find the most similar-looking employee. This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States.

Why did you make this?

To show that ICE isn't some secret organization operating in the shadows. They're made of people who look like us and our neighbors, from every race and class, working in human resources, as IT technicians, nurses, or legal advisors.

Why are you targeting individuals at ICE? Aren't they just doing their job?

Evil is built on the back of people in boring jobs "just following orders": providing the infrastructure for guards to cage children or sexually abuse detainees. Now more than ever we need to follow our inner moral compass and avoid blindly falling in step.

Why are you targeting Microsoft? Don't they just build technology?

The tech industry embraces the narrative that they "just build tools", and it's not their responsibility how those tools are used or abused. Recently, employees at Google have rejected this apathy by organizing to force their employer to not renew it's "Project Maven" drone surveillance contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.

Can I use this to harass ICE employees?

You can't. There is no additional useful information beyond what is self-reported on LinkedIn, and threatening federal employees is a felony. Besides, ICE is already busy threatening its own employees for talking about the organization.
