This article is not considered a psychological operation. It examines the growing reliance of U.S. government agencies on private surveillance technologies from companies like Palantir, Flock, and others to monitor individuals both domestically and abroad, highlighting how this privatization allows authorities to bypass legal constraints like warrants. The piece also explores public backlash, the potential for bipartisan privacy advocacy, and the importance of holding tech developers accountable rather than treating AI-driven surveillance as an inevitable force.
