Thumbs up, or thumbs down: that's the option presented to analysts when the tool Giant Oak Search Technology surfaces content from social media and other sources for ICE to scrutinize.
If the federales are after you, there isn’t much you can do to stop them from eventually figuring out who the fuck you are and getting access to your shit. However, stuff like this you can combat but people don’t usually like the answer. Do what’s right for you and your situation. That being said…
Delete all your IRL social media accounts, all of them. Make up a username that isn’t associated with anything IRL, make sure you set up all your accounts with a random 20 digit password or passphrase that is difficult to crack, upgrade your security settings on your browser to automatically disable the loading of javascript and other media elements that are used to track you, don’t use google switch to duckduckgo, don’t use windows switch to linux and finally, make sure all of your personal data is backed up in cold storage on a USB or drive that has a manual switch to turn on and off when you need to access it. I also encrypt all my drives with a 32 bit encryption.
That’s all good, but then in this same situation agents would find nothing about you at all and “thumbs down” you because you are obviously hiding something.

Are you missing a couple of zeros on that encryption?..

Bruh the FBI has had people on their most wanted list for DECADES.
The feds are as worthless as local cops.
