Along with it incorrectly labeling people as a criminal so cops harass innocent families

That's a feature, not a bug.

The whole point of warrantless mass surveillance where you collect a person's entire life history from birth to death is to be able to go back through that history at any point they become an inconvenient person, whether because they are protesting or are a whistleblower or anything else that endangers the existing power structures. They can and will use your history to fabricate a "reasonable" narrative to turn you into whatever type of criminal they claim you are.

This is exactly why they're pushing the "antifa is an organized terrorist organization" so hard.

And they wonder why people have anxiety disorders

They don't care, they think you're weak. Show them you're not.

"You'd have anxiety too if you knew that entire government organizations were dedicated to watching your every move while everyone told you that you were crazy."

Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats.

I watched a video last night. Some guy was banned from a casino. All they had was a blurry surveillance camera photo of him.

The AI tagged some other guy as him. Cops came and arrested him. Said the man's ID must be fake, or he used a fake ID last time because there's no way their high-fallutin AI could be wrong! It was >99% certain!

Sounds like a blessing in disguise. Now he can't throw his money away.
