@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com "We can trace this story to the post-9/11 US drone war, with the concept of the Signature Strike. A signature strike uses the logic of ad targeting, determining targets for death based not on knowledge of the target or certainty about their culpability, but based on data patterns and surveillance of behavior that the US, in this case, assumes to be associated with terrorist activity. Signature strikes kill people based on their data profiles." https://www.helmut-schmidt.de/en/news-1/detail/the-prizewinners-speech
