      >The Home Office said ‘appropriate action’ had been taken after multiple videos of assault rifles and pistols were shared publicly online

      Why do I have a feeling that the ‘appropriate action’ was to use to OSA to remove the ‘offending images’ from social media?

      What checks can the Home Office reasonably do?

      We don’t have fingerprints of every person on Earth.

      They don’t have an identification document, are not required or expected to provide one. Even then, in many countries you can get a passport saying whatever you want, name or date of birth. They may not even be from the country they claim to be. How will you match them up?

      While there’s obviously possibility of using AI to try to use facial recognition against social media, how effective is that going to be? Lots of social media accounts are private, in aliases or don’t clearly show people’s faces. There’s also the technical aspect of trying to search every social media, instagram story, video, and the possibility of false positives. Then doing this 50,000 times a year.

      Checking people’s social media could even stray into being surveillance. So we would need to give the Home Office more powers.

      Can’t request DNA and nothing to compare it to.

      This is the added difficulties of irregular migrants. Often times we are relying on intelligence from other sources or people familiar with the person to match them.

      Nothing new. We knew criminals were smuggling guns and drugs in via illegal migrants the only change here is this dumbass made a video of himself.

      A better question is what did his “associates” think of him pulling a stunt like this.
