The pedo government is monitoring **all **of your Tik-tok and Instagram accounts. Not just Anti-Flockers.

What the fuck do you think these data centers are actually for?

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 7 points 3 days ago

What they have right now really is just a prototype of a much larger system

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

I learned from iron man. Jarvis was cool.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

And discord and Snapchat

[–] ActualGrapesTasteGreen@piefed.zip 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If they monitor them the same way they monitor school shooters then there's nothing to worry about.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

No no, school shooters are a "whatever", anti flock protesters are terrorists

See the difference?

[–] AverageEarthling@feddit.online 16 points 3 days ago

lol, the government is monitoring EVERYTHING. That's what all the data centers are for. You can't take a piss without big brother knowing about it.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The government is monitoring anyone who seems to feel strongly that the US quickly transforming into a fascist surveillance state with government goons killing random citizens in the street and "license plate reading" cameras pointing at children's play and changing areas is a bad thing.

We're not ready for what I think is coming. Call me paranoid- but the US still hasn't solved the Vice President issue.

Does the 12th invalidate the exact wording of the 22nd? Because it's entirely possible orange man will just do a Putin and have himself run as Vice President in 2028 with someone like Vance(Medvedev) as his puppet, who can then suddenly resign/die and Trump gets 3rd/4th/forever terms due to the 22nd only saying 'elected to the office' not "hold the office".

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think it will be sooner than that. I see that executive order about birthright citizenship and the DoJs new theory on revoking naturalized citizenship as preparing for the midterms.

If the Dems take majority in a big way he can quietly write an illegal but official looking decree that a lot of them are no longer US Citizens and send large groups of ICE to abduct whoever he's now calling an illegal immigrant in a surprise raid.

The only way for Congress to fight that would be voting to remove him or take military control from him... and I don't see the suddenly Republican majority doing that.

The country wakes up and realizes we need to do something about it, and the New Congress supports Trump in enacting the Insurrection Act and calling on the US military to put down any mobs of crazy brainwashed libral terrorists.

The President, most of Congress, and most of the Supreme Court all tell the military it's the right thing to do and defending the Constitution from extreme far left terrorism.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 49 points 3 days ago

Just in case you check here.

Fuck Flock. Fuck Axon. Fuck every bit of this bullshit.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Then we're all anti-flock accounts.

I'm Brian.

[–] RoddyStiggs@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 days ago

I monitored their moms last night

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Breaking: Spyware spies on you. More at 11.

I'll just read about on tiktok I don't have all day

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

daily reminder, flock cameras have $500 worth of copper in them and $4000 worth of gold.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

I've heard that it's way more than that.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What is Snowden up to btw?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Breaking into a mass surveillance network set up by a foreign government so we too can spy on your citizens

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Paintball guns are a tool for good.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.

You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but if we make them monitor everybody, then we can increase the signal to noise ratio so much that they can't catch anybody.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.

If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

an electric circular saw is more useful.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Zron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A cordless sawzall of circular saw with a metal cutting blade is way faster.

I mean, hypothetically. I have a decent amount of experience with cutting pipes.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Sawzall takes 1.5 min. Circular saw is faster. Angle grinder with a cutting blade is also good.

[–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I hope our names are touching in the watchlist

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 8 points 3 days ago

What if we kissed on the government watch list?

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We can hold hands in the detention center. Jk. Unless…

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Kiss under the gates of the gulag lol

[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

One of the good things about having the moron for president is that things like this aren't hidden.

I can't help thinking that every other US government (and not just the US) would do this anyway, but would be more Clandestine about it.

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They can monitor deez nutz!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

cops will be monitoring thier EX -wives, husbands, bf/gfs, children,,,etc.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

these flock and AXON cameras were going to be used for things like this mostly.

[–] sam_the_tech@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I want someone to flock my wife like this guy did to his wife
