Tell Tech Companies: Block ICE’s Surveillance Contractor

A powerful surveillance company called ShadowDragon is helping ICE and other law enforcement agencies track and monitor people—by scraping personal data from across the internet using a tool called SocialNet.

Now, Mozilla is leading a campaign to stop it.

According to Mozilla, SocialNet collects data from platforms like Amazon Web Services, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, among others—making it easier for law enforcement to secretly surveil and target people, especially immigrants, activists, and communities of color.

ShadowDragon’s SocialNet tool links together personal information scraped from dozens of platforms to build detailed profiles and maps of people’s online lives. The company boasts that it can track names, aliases, connections, locations, and more—all without a warrant or meaningful oversight.

ICE is already using this data to fuel its aggressive deportation machine.

Mozilla is demanding that tech companies cut off access to their platforms for ShadowDragon and its surveillance tools. It’s time for us to amplify that call.

Add your name to tell Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X: Block ShadowDragon now and stop fueling ICE’s surveillance state.
