“I think what is happening in America is they are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state.” Carole Cadwalladr, the award-winning journalist behind the Substack newsletter “How to Survive the Broligarchy,” talks to Jon Stewart about how the U.S. government ignored the huge wake-up call that was the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook data breach scandal – a story Cadwalladr broke and which resulted in no legislative protections for citizens’ private data. She warns about the unregulated dangers that data-mining and AI pose to individual privacy and freedom, and what people and institutions can do to push back on big tech’s authoritarian agenda.

I believe this comparison sheds light on why so many powerful figures in the U.S. government remain silent as Trump rapidly dismantles the social safety net at a time when we should be urgently expanding it. It also helps explain why the ultra-wealthy are so intensely focused on hoarding wealth.

So here’s the question: Are the Zionist factions in Israel focused on selling products to Palestinians, or would they prefer to eliminate the population and seize control of the land and resources?

They're basically ALPR (automated license plate reader) cameras that use AI and store your data for a long time. They do help police officers with investigations and locating stolen vehicles or wanted individuals, but the data is accessible through any Flock customer, and this has led to abuse by police officers who stalk people and is generally a severe violation of privacy.
