It seems that the latter detail is what caused Meta to take action in a move that was first reported by <em>Wired<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">ICE List is a crowdsourced Wiki that describes itself as &ldquo;an independently maintained public documentation project focused on immigration-enforcement activity&rdquo; in the US. &ldquo;Its purpose is to record, organize, and preserve verifiable information about enforcement actions, agents, facilities, vehicles, and related incidents that would otherwise remain fragmented, difficult to access, or undocumented,&rdquo; its website states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Along with notable incidents, the website also lists the names of individual agents associated with ICE, CBP and other DHS agencies. According to <em>Wired<\/em>, the website&rsquo;s creators said much of that information had come from a &ldquo;leak,&rdquo; though it appears to be based largely on public LinkedIn profiles. As <em>Wired <\/em>notes:<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_kgb7bm9anqiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_14gb7bm9anqiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-text-color col-body mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic dark:text-bob\" readability=\"31\">\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-[[fullbleed-start_body-start]_auto_[body-end_fullbleed-end]]\" readability=\"36\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The site went viral earlier this month when it claimed to have uploaded a leaked list of 4,500 DHS employees to its site, but a WIRED analysis found that the list relied heavily on information the employees shared publicly about themselves on sites such as LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Links to ICE List have been spreading widely for several weeks, including on Meta&rsquo;s platforms. There are numerous links to the website on Threads, some of which go back several weeks. Now though, clicking on previously-shared links instead results in a message that the link can&rsquo;t be opened. Users who try to share new links on Threads or Facebook also see error messages. &ldquo;Posts that look like spam according to our Community Guidelines are blocked on Facebook and can&rsquo;t be edited,&rdquo; the notice says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">When reached for comment, a Meta spokesperson pointed to the company&rsquo;s privacy policy barring the disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII). The company didn&rsquo;t address why it chose to start blocking the website after several weeks, or whether it considers public LinkedIn profiles to be in violation of its rules against doxxing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">It is, however, not the first time Meta has opted to remove users&rsquo; posts tracking information about ICE actions. The social network previously took down a Facebook group that tracked ICE sightings in Chicago after pressure from the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\"><em>Have a tip for Karissa?
