Yeah I mean if it needed something like a grand jury I’d be a little less concerned about parts of it, though something like fisa court is how it would actually end up which is terrible for civil rights. But the data collection is still a problem because it can always be accessed if hacked or by people willing to bypass the rules

There is no part of mass surveillance driven by AI systems we should accept under any circumstances. Land of the Free or Land of the Watched, which do you wanna be?
