  • Its not “Search and Siezure” it is “Searches” and “Siezures”. It violates the “Searches” part and the only way to work around is a warrant. A “search” is not only to search a person’s house, but to subject a person to being followed and tracked day in and out needs a Judicial Warrant in most circumstances because you are violating the subjects right to privacy.

    In the case of Flock they could set up cameras and have trained people watch them, and that is iffy at that, but once it is autommatically stored and cataloged everything everyone does and where they go, and can be used to unwind everything a person does quite litterally like Big Brother, and then you can put that in a data base where the police can litterally do fishing expeditions after the fact to make a case, or the AI can just spit out a name that got a well known car reviewer seconds away from getting his life ended by a police officer because it mixed his plate with annother, that is an entirely different kettle of fish.

    I is like the famous saying of the head of the Polish Secret Police “You show me the man and I will show you the crime”. It is because of this you have a right to not talk to the police and legally speaking any little thing you say or respond to “…can and will be used against you in a court of law.”. If you try hard enough you can come up with multiple crimes for anyone.


  • Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. I have not read the books so I am just going by memory of the movie franchise which I haven’t seen since it first came out (and I have Long Covid) so the finer points of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion(Thank you spellcheck for that one) are not at my fingertips.

    Considering the Death and Destruction of the real world Palantir, not to mention the evil use of general control and aid in creating a police state on purpose to the point that its employees have at several points have opened up large discussions that basically say “Are we the baddies???” I think the evil version of the Palantir shown in the films is the best analogue.

    Anyway updating my post now.


  • If you are attacking the Catholic Pope for being a foreign agent of Communism… You might be the Antichrist. If you back the company that is named after the all-seeing orb turned evil from The Lord of the Rings… You might be the Antichrist. If you obsessively see any opposition or person trying to fight the climate crisis as “The Antichrist”… You might be the Antichrist. If you think Freedom, Democracy, and Governments are the enemies of good… You might be the Antichrist. If you think being against fascism is a bad thing… You might be the Antichrist. If you think humanity shouldn’t exist anymore because you believe in Transhumanism and not humanism… You might be the Antichrist.

    I think it is a chat app that is holding on by a thread, that thread being the network effect. If that cracks and it offers something like Reddit’s Community solutions but only to Search Engines, and it will collapse. Too much to manager for the server admins, to complicated for half of the casual users. Not enough income sources. Now it is leaning into ID Checking everyone and that had more than half its user base looking elsewhere.
