Oh look. Our #BigTechOverlords don't want us to diss their #AISucks technology!
US law enforcement warns of “#AntiTech extremism” as #AIHatred grows
The feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat.
Daniel Boguslaw, WIRED.com – May 27, 2026
Excerpt: "In the wake of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: #AntiTechnologyExtremists.
"More than 1,000 pages of unpublished reports from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and fusion centers obtained by WIRED show a national shift taking place to surveil this new and worryingly broad category of people and activities deemed an emerging threat.
"This new effort follows President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memo 7, which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding '#AntiAmerican,' '#AntiChristian,' and '#AntiCapitalism' beliefs. Earlier this month, #Trump’s counterterrorism czar, #SebastianGorka, released a public counterterrorism strategy claiming that left-wing extremists are one of the three top counterterrorism priorities facing the United States.
"Taken together, these Trump administration directives have commandeered the domestic surveillance apparatus to surveil and criminalize speech and assembly that challenges the ideology of the White House. A new focus on anti-technology extremism adds an unreported category to already public designations under a presidency that has heavily invested political and material capital in #AI and #datacenter proliferation.
"Among the documents in the tranche obtained by WIRED is a New York Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau report that warns of widespread upheaval in response to AI adoption. Of particular note is a novel term for what the bureau purports to be an emerging extremism threat."

On tonight's (May 28, 2026) episode of #BluntYouthRadio, #MaineYouth talk about #Surveillance in #Maine. One takeaway -- that there are more surveillance cameras in areas with #ImmigrantHousing and #LowerIncome folks, rather than the mostly white affluent areas (like #WillardBeach). Not surprising...
"#WMPG’s Blunt Youth Radio Project brings together Maine teenagers to produce audio stories and interviews on topics that matter to them. Finished work is aired on WMPG or made available in podcast format."

An EFF analysis of millions of searches of Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) data by police has uncovered a troubling pattern: in the absence of a warrant requirement to search ALPR databases, law enforcement agencies have moved beyond specific investigations to use these surveillance networks for virtually any whim.

Wes Streeting (UK prime minister wannabe) has come out strongly in favour of the #SocialMedia ban, and he is very tight with #bigtech leaders including #Palantir, #Google, #Meta, #Microsoft.
📢 Please make your voice heard in that consultation NOW, because it closes at midnight tonight!

Oh no😳🫢 - Oura says it gets government demands for user data. Will it share how many? #Oura users' data is not end-to-end encrypted and can be handed to the government. Will the wearable tech maker say how often it turns over data? #privacy #Surveillance #SurveillanceState
