That sounds quaint. Why was it awarded to Reuters, a British/foreign news organization that supposedly hires journalists to report unbiased information? What expertise would they have in preventing social engineering attacks?
How's that working so far? Millions of illegal immigration, emptying of foreign prisons into America, development of apps to help navigate illegals into their US destinations, pacifying social media of the abovea?
Thomas Reuters apparently is helping against America ... so far.
Pardon? This is about how Thomson Reuters was funded by DARPA to do a study on defending against social media attacks at scale. It has nothing to do with any of the points you brought up, and I fail to see the connection.
Turn off Fox News dude - you're severely lacking perspective of your own country. Everyone outside of the US media sphere(or rather spheres - there's two) laughs at your news media and how entrenched misinformation has become.
You've made a diagram showing statistics of immigration encounters, and from that you deduced that prisons are being emptied into the US? Bit of a stretch. The diagram is nice, but you're missing the point: the picture being painted for you that you're trying to prop up is false.
Title 42 was the main culprit of the border encounter explosion, it was used as a temporary solution to the 'asylum seeker' problem. It turned into catch and release, even the CBP agreed this was an issue because the recidivism rate was so high. That ended in May of 23' and now the only problem is working through asylum claims. Idk why everyone misunderstands the problem at the border so much.
As well as most of the people crying about this problem are unaware that Trump shot down the border bill which would have enabled officers to close up cases much quicker than judges. So do you even have a point here?
Reuters builds software for a variety of fields and maintains datasets that would be useful in identifying if, say, an email with an invoice purporting to be from a specific company aligns with the invoicing practices of that company.
It would be more accurate to compare that side of Reuters to LexisNexus, Wolters Kluwer, or perhaps Bloomberg.
Thomson Reuters is an American-Canadian company. Thompson was founded in Toronto and bought Reuters in 2008. Most of it's leadership is Canadian, and to some degree American or British.
This isn't "foreign", and it has a large presence in the US
They also have a long, long history of providing services to the USG, including a lot of efforts in busting illegal immigration via shared media databases.
