@republik_magazin For students and youth, there's also a youth discount. So if you don't have enough, you can still support them! But don't cheapskate them if you'd have enough to spend! Republik is excellent Swiss journalism!

@republik_magazin article ^^^
'...how do ICE agents know exactly where their targets are? To find them, the agency relies on surveillance technologies, including products from the U.S. data analytics company Palantir Technologies. Co-founded by right‑wing libertarian billionaire Peter Thiel, Palantir has become one of the most controversial tech firms in the world.

Palantir’s software draws on telephone and flight data as well as social media profiles to map the movement patterns of migrants. This enables the immigration authorities not only to identify them, but also to locate them in real time. One of the strengths of the system is that instead of having to sift through many separate databases and confusing file formats, users are provided with a uniform interface in which connections are automatically visualized – for example, via timelines, networks, or graphic evaluations...'
