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"More than 1,000 pages of unpublished reports from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and fusion centers obtained by WIRED show a national shift taking place to surveil this new and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."

US agencies expand monitoring of emerging ‘anti-tech extremism’ amid growing AI-related tensions

According to documents obtained by WIRED, US federal and local law enforcement agencies are increasingly focusing on what they describe as a rising category of domestic threat referred to as “anti-technology extremism.” Intelligence reports from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and regional fusion centers suggest that concerns about artificial intelligence, data centers, and large-scale technological infrastructure are being tracked alongside fears of potential civil unrest or violence. The materials indicate that authorities are particularly attentive to protests and activist movements opposing AI expansion and data center construction, which are seen as critical to national economic and security interests. The reporting highlights how new terminology such as “anti-tech violent extremism” is being used in intelligence assessments, despite not being an officially established classification in publicly available federal documents. Some assessments suggest that ideological opposition to AI, including fears of job displacement or existential risks, could evolve into broader unrest. The documents also reference prior incidents and activist movements protesting tech companies and infrastructure projects, noting that law enforcement agencies have monitored both online communities and in-person demonstrations. Critics cited in the article argue that these frameworks risk becoming overly broad, potentially encompassing peaceful protest activity and constitutionally protected speech. Legal experts warn that intelligence indicators such as surveillance of facilities or public criticism of technology could be misinterpreted as precursors to violence. The article also describes how fusion centers across the United States share intelligence on perceived threats to data centers, sometimes including groups advocating nonviolent opposition. Overall, the piece raises concerns about the balance between national security monitoring and civil liberties as government agencies adapt to the societal impacts of artificial intelligence and technological expansion.

The robot wars are gaining pace. I shared elsewhere about a Luddite event in London on Saturday (Breaking the (G)loom), and here's another in New York (S.H.I.T.P.H.O.N.E). The more gen ai music & video content, autoplay video apps, 5 second attn span novelty, pervasive data and human surveillance (Waymo cams etc), the more this will increase.
Universities take note.
