    Thank you, shareholders. Please also demand the reinstatement of whistleblower Billie Long, and no reprisals for the other employees who expressed the same concerns that you are expressing now.

  4. RE: fediscience.org/@petersuber/11

    #ThomsonReuters used to be the owner of the bibliometric database Web of Science (former ISI). Its surveillance expertise, as ti were, has deep root.
  5. Update. #ThomsonReuters fired a senior attorney for her role in the employee letter protesting the company's allegedly illegal conduct.
    404media.co/thomson-reuters-fi

    Billie Little, the fired attorney, says she was fired for an "unspecified code of conduct violation." She believes she was singled out because she was the most visible leader behind the protest letter. She's suing for reinstatement and damages, and for firing her in violation of the Oregon #whistleblower statute. She maintains that the data the company sold to #ICE "circumvented and violated state sanctuary laws, privacy protections, and the Constitution.”

  6. #ThomsonReuters Fired Worker For Speaking Out About #ICE , Former Employee Says

    The lawsuit and firing come after more than 200 employees wrote a letter to Thomson #Reuters leadership about the company’s contracts with ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (#DHS ).

    “When I saw evidence that our products were being used to harm people and undermine the law, I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm.

  7. #ThomsonReuters Fired Worker For Speaking Out About #ICE Former Employee Says
    "When I saw evidence that our products were being used to harm people and undermine the law, I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm. Thomson Reuters’ response was to fire me,” #BillieLittle, who was a senior attorney editor at Thomson Reuters, said in a statement. Little led hundreds of coworkers to raise concerns that Thomson Reuters’ CLEAR database “was being used to compile and deliver sensitive personal and location data to federal immigration authorities."

  8. How #ThomsonReuters Powers #ICE and #Palantir

    Thomson Reuters, the media company which is also a #databroker , has long provided underlying personal data for #Immigration and #Customs #Enforcement (ICE) tools, according to documents obtained by 404 Media and sources. There are also indications its data is now part of the Palantir system ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target.

    Thomson Reuters, a media company and data broker, has long provided personal data used in ICE tools, according to reporting. There are also indications this data may feed into Palantir systems used to identify neighborhoods for enforcement.

    Reuters, once a major competitor to the Associated Press, was acquired by Thomson Corporation in 2008 to form Thomson Reuters.

  10. Update. While the #ThomsonReuters employee letter is not yet public, #Poynter quotes from it: "The detrimental actions of #ICE, and the #DHS’s lack of oversight and direct falsehoods regarding the situation in #Minnesota and other cities, makes us question if our investigative products and services are being used in accordance with our mission and values, as well as in accordance with the law and our nation’s constitution.”

    The same article links to a similar letter from #RELX employees to management about a $22.1 million contract with ICE. RELX is the parent company of #LexisNexis and #Elsevier.

    That letter is public. From the RELX employee letter: "We are deeply concerned that RELX is directly aiding the separation of families, the removal of children from schools and the death of individuals in detention centers."

    RELX deleted a page from its FAQ, posted during the Biden administration, saying that its tools would not be used for these purposes. But here's a copy from the #WaybackMachine.

  11. #ThomsonReuters employees were alarmed to learn that #ICE was paying the company $22.8 million for "software to pull public and private information about individuals, and to track license plates." More than 200 employees signed an internal letter asking management "not [to] renew the ICE contract when it expires in May." The letter is not yet public.

    "More than 200 Thomson Reuters employees have signed a letter to management asking that the company not renew the ICE contract when it expires in May. (Ten employees spoke to The New York Times, but asked that their names not be used for fear of retaliation.)"

  14. Guter Artikel von Imke Stock darüber, wer die #ICE-Mascine antreibt. Sie erwähnt es nicht im Detail, aber ein Teil der Data Broker, die missionskritisch für ICE sind, stammen ursprünglich aus dem Wissenschaftsbereich wie #LexisNexis oder #ThomsonReuters. Wichtig ist die Rolle der erwähnten Scorings, aus denen die Listen der Zielgruppen abgeleitet werden. Scorings kennen wir in der Wissenschaft auch, sie lassen sich aber auch ganz anders einsetzen wie gewohnt (1/2).

  16. 3/5 This program also plans to integrate #artificial #intelligence and use commercial databases such as #LexisNexis #Accurint and #ThomsonReuters #ClearSkies to gather extensive #personal #information. Analysts will turn #socialmedia posts, images, and communication into actionable intelligence for raids and enforcement actions.

  17. "As the first copyright cases concerning AI reach appeals courts, EFF wants to protect important, beneficial uses of this technology—including AI for legal research. That’s why we weighed in on the long-running case of Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence. This case raises at least two important issues: the use of (possibly) copyrighted material to train a machine learning AI system, and public access to legal texts.

    ROSS Intelligence was a legal research startup that built an AI-based tool for locating judges’ written opinions based on natural language queries—a competitor to ubiquitous legal research platforms like Lexis and Thomson Reuters’ Westlaw. To build its tool, ROSS hired another firm to read through thousands of the “West headnotes” that Thomson Reuters adds to the legal decisions it publishes, paraphrasing the individual legal conclusions (what lawyers call “holdings”) that the headnotes identified. ROSS used those paraphrases to train its tool. Importantly, the ROSS tool didn’t output any West headnotes, or even the paraphrases of those headnotes—it simply directed the user to the original judges’ decisions. Still, Thomson sued ROSS for copyright infringement, arguing that using the headnotes without permission was illegal.

    Early decisions in the suit were encouraging. EFF wrote about how the court allowed ROSS to bring an antitrust counterclaim against Thomson Reuters, letting them try to prove that Thomson was abusing monopoly power. And the trial judge initially ruled that ROSS’s use of the West headnotes was fair use under copyright law."

  18. From what I remember, #ThomsonReuters & #Bloomberg share the market for financial information You see the kind of vital information that is necessary for traders to be able to take decisions in seconds Traders pay A LOT for those information The sales of the traders depends on Reuters & Bloomberg

  21. Wer genauer wissen will, wo das mit dem #Unsicherheitspaket und dem Kampf gegen #Migration hingeht: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), eine der düstersten Sicherheitsbehörden im Bereich des #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity, hatte "Citizens Academies" begründet, Ausbildungsstätten für eine Art #Bürgerwehren, mit Schießtrainings, Tötungsanleitung und Überwachungsmethoden. Wo die digitale #Infrastruktur für letzteres herkommt? Von #LexisNexis und #ThomsonReuters.
