The artificial intelligence (AI) tools built to guard America’s borders are now extending their policing powers into America’s neighborhoods. What began as AI-powered immigration enforcement confined primarily to our southern border is rapidly becoming something else: a quiet expansion of government surveillance into everyday life.
Facial recognition, biometric scanning, and social-media monitoring — once justified for tracking noncitizens — are now being used to identify and investigate U.S. citizens. This is mission creep, a military term for a shift in objectives that gradually turns a limited mission into something far larger. And it’s happening right now.

And you want me to click on the 2nd link...LOL, I don't think so, but, I'm just the overly cautious type, as I've never seen that before

What I posted is real, not a hoax or anything. I'm just amazed at the way security researchers obtained the information. They used open source methods. It's something outside the box.

From the outside (as someone who is not a U.S. citizen), it looks like the DHS started with a lock on the border and ended up raising watchtowers inside the neighborhood itself. On social media, most describe it as a ‘mission creep’ that turns security into a modern panopticon. One wonders if the border was just the excuse and the real map was to keep everyone under watch.”

Yeah, I thought it was pretty retro. The first "loading dialog", nowadays making it look suspicious, appears to be just a theme element.

Extensive surveillance technologies give more power to technocrats, which may (or most likely will) make repressive governments.

Just replacing the oldschool informer by AI.
