the data-gathering factor, which is part and parcel of artificial intelligence, should give law-abiding citizens causes to be concerned. given that people are actually being arrested over social media posts in western europe, expect the surveillance state machine to be very slanted and one-sided. a muslim in paris networking with his peers about killing infidels or ramming a vehicle into a crowded venue? pass. a somali in london musing about stabbing random passers-through? pass. a Heritage German in Köln worried about women being raped? a thought criminal who should be arrested. let's raid his home at 3 in the morning, place him under arrest, take his wife in for interrogation and put his children under the custody of the state. let's also seize his desktop computer, his cell phone and deep scan it for nonwoke websites and activities.
one way to avoid this? reject modernity.
