“We have the choice to use VPNs or tor”

The US is a surveillance state a 10. Im being gangstalked by a fundamentalist religious culture
Flock cameras are now in my neighborhood. I want to take a bat and smash them.
We’ve always been
Yes! Search for Targeted Individual and Organized Stalking, an evolution of Zersetzung.
GMAFB. You couldn’t post anything about masks or question the vaxx or say anything about the origins in wuhan without being shadow banned, censored, or labeled misinformation during the Biden reign. But the “current climate” is pushing the US now. Yeah ok
“Forced into the drug trafficking trade” give me a break.
who is wondering? lol? after 9/11 we have been.
I wish someone trusted and loved at Wired won over $1B in the lottery, and bought Radiofree Europe to bring all those journalists back where they belong. Then Wired could just unleash their magnificent content with no worries of being bought out.
Attention grabbing = Bad.
Then using every attention grabbing trick in the book when in the video 😂
Anyone heard about the recent digital ID thing? I don’t buy the claim that its intended for convenience
Being used against only the “far left” liberals? What about Biden era FBI putting “far right” conservatives on a watchlist for things like searching for Bibles online? Yes, it happened, look it up.
I’m not arguing for one party or the other. There’s issues with both sides as far as I am concerned. My point is it’s been wielded my the political parties for far longer than this. Does that make Trump’s actions any better? No. But lets not pretend he’s the first one. Just look up Clinton’s speech on deporting illegal aliens when he was a senator. And he did get them deported.
They’re all crooked. Let’s stop fighting each other as a “left” and “right” and focus on the real enemy

“Has The U.S. Become A Surveillance State?” Is this a rhetorical question? Exponentially more so than China unbeknownst to the American public.
I’ve been getting harassed her in Oregon because of my internet searches, where there at a 9 it’s just being kept covert
This is the most important issue currently, thank you
> Be China
> Want to build your own domestic internet so your nation has cyber national autonomy.
> Do the exact same things the USA does
> Get crucified by Westerners for having a centralized spooky surveillence state
Every accusation is a confession
we got more cameras than china, we are the least free nation on earth
I was recently targeted by an algorithm which made me think that I was being recorded on video 24 hours a day. This is how it worked:
They use a bunch of different noises overlaid on top of each other that sound like syllables and it is usually subjective and suggestive. I think I need a civil rights attorney! An algorithm that I thought the government wasn’t allowed to use
Hey Google…what do you think?
