the masses will never comprehend that this is just the early stages of having every device tied to a name, address, and photo. until that's exactly what happens, and then it'll be the same "ohwellwhaddayagonnado. imma check my insta"
It'll be the same until "We noticed you follow an LGBTQ influencer on that Insta, please comply with the reeducation ICE crew who will arrive shortly."
not only that, but since they'll have hundreds (thousands?) of unique data points tied to everything you've ever posted, DM'd, emailed, photographed, they'll also know all your friends, enemies, family, coworkers, former coworkers, etc. do you use a "rewards" card issued by your grocery store? now they'll know every item you've bought for the last however long the grocery corporation (who very likely donated millions to trump's campaign) keeps their records. this is all ignoring any meds, procedures, medical history you may have. HIPAA? LOL GFYS
yes, they could always get this information, but it took time and effort, not to mention a warrant. now it'll all be instant, ready to be spreadsheeted and cross-referenced. yea, they're looking for people to arrest/murder, because that's what fascists do
Not only will it be instant and ready, but some shitty AI can make incorrect conclusions based on that data!
just like a real cop, except no donuts required!
They'd be there already but, despite having all this data, they still went to the wrong house, broke the door down and shot the dog. Once they've finished rounding up all the schoolchildren there, they'll be on their way over to you!
