In the future it would be a great way to look for domestic terrorism networks, since that was the greatest threat previously.

This sounds more like a recruiting tool for the current administration.

Page 101 of the part 2 PDF is where the interesting stuff starts, the rest just seems to be boring legal stuff.

    tldr, it mines your public social media posts and maps your degree of connection to people who post “extremist” content (guilt by association) and then ties that to any internal private dirt the FBI has on you

    evades 4th amendment, warrant, FISA types of reporting because its all stuff you chose to post publicly on one of these platforms.

They literally planned an insurrection there. I fail to see what’s even remotely controversial about this.

    It's a lot more than what's listed in the title. Basically every major social media platform is in scope here.

    That is still too kind. The insurrection was planned by the same types of corpo-fascist lobbyists that orchestrated the push of "woke", DEI, advocating for illegal immigration, etc. Take legitimately understandable frustrations, radicalize both sides with a culture war of feel-good half solutions that revolve around blaming their neighbors, smash the divided people into one another, and no matter which "side" "wins" the unaccountable corporate power structure ends up advancing.

    Online message boards were merely places for recruiting foot soldiers and getting them riled up.

      All that fits the strategy outlined in Aleksandr Dugin’s book ”The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia”.

      both-sideism doesnt work when one side is actively pushing for non-white residents (citizen or otherwise) to be removed from the country as a whole. the DHS twitter account has started posting about "remigration". this isn't equal culture war stuff!

      I don’t think Steve Bannon is to blame for “wokeness” and your analysis has more than a couple of holes in it.

        It’s good you took the time to post a critical, fact-based response instead of a trite baseless jab.

          Wouldn't it be better to lead by example? You've yet to give any actual facts or evidence.
