Surveillance, Security, and Control

This chapter critically examines a proposed AI-powered threat detection system endorsed by a former counterterrorism official, raising concerns about mass surveillance and the subjective nature of 'radicalization.' It explores the relationship between government initiatives and private surveillance contractors, highlighting potential dangers in the normalization of surveillance technologies and the political motivations behind them. The discussion also delves into the implications of Israeli influence on U.S. tech, censorship issues, and how narratives are shaped through media and legislation.
