    social media is cool for users because

    • targeted advertising & marketing makes you feel bad about yourself
    • you can find out your distant cousin’s spouse is anti-vaxx and hates minorities, but loves the all new Cheesy Blaster Ranch Burger at Applebee’s in Real Time
    • employers and security forces use it curate a profile of your dissidence and limit your power
    • stalkers can track you and watch you easily
    • the secret police can use it to find and disappear you

    and all of this is COMPLETELY FREE!

    Lemme guess what’s going to happen. And happen soon?

    1. The AI set up is total shit. It was horribly designed by somebody with no understanding of what they were doing. Maybe the person was some VIP’s brother-in-law who got the nice, fat, and juicy $250M contract.

    2. The system is filled with bugs and of it’s multitude of problems - it has an insanely elastic scope of what constitutes stuff like “threats”.

    3. ICE gets a judge to okay a no-knock warrant by a local SWAT team on “actionable intel”. The intel shows a man named Joe Blow made death threats on the lives of ICE agents.

    4. SWAT no-knocks and quickly shots Joe Blow, his girlfriend, and their dog to death.

    5. Civil and legal trials start. They drag on for years but eventually no one involved is held criminally liable. Meanwhile GOP SCOTUS ruled that it’s basically 100% impossible to successfully sue anybody involved in immigration enforcement for any reason. The civil cases can theoretically proceed by they are dropped. Why bother?

    6. The “actionable intel” turns out to be 100% fake AI “hallucinations”. But that doesn’t even matter. The new information changes nothing.
