Day three of Trump's term and the largest push for surveillance capitalism yet has been made: Project Stargate will be a $500.000.000.000 (500 billion USD) data center used for running a multitude of AIs with the purpose of spying on you.

Larry Ellison, the world's second richest man and CEO of Oracle, one of the main partners of Stargate, said:

“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on [...]. We're using A.I. to monitor the video.”

This is who is in power now. This is the vision they have.

What we need to do is keep on questioning the value of these kinds of changes and systems. Surveillance does not improve society, it does not solve any issues that trigger crime and being surveilled does not prevent crimes it merely may help detection.
