So who is DHS gonna hire? Well, from the description reported here by the Conservative Tree House, it is going to be big tech, specifically, Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and more. Nowadays, this data that's put together by these artificial intelligence systems is not necessarily that accurate, and that gets to be a real problem. They really are trying to blend into the background, I think it's probably been almost a decade since I last spoke with the data aggregators. I did not see a single one that was more than about 30% correct about me. Now, I've got to say when I've had them on my show here before, I was talking to them and said, okay, I want to look up my own records. They're figuring out how it all meshes together, and they come up with a pretty accurate picture of who you are. They're taking public records they're putting them all together. I think I was talking about these data aggregators and the issues they create. We've talked before the problem, man, 20 years ago. So you look at that and say, okay, I can see that.
But, unfortunately, it's going to worsen because the Department of Homeland security has decided to hire regular old companies to help develop this no-fly list and this terrorist watch list.Īpparently, these companies will be looking through all kinds of public data, maybe some private data, social media to provide information for this new domestic terror watch list. It starts out almost innocuous, and before you know it, there are all kinds of people getting caught in this big, big net. It was initially intended to be, we know this guy's a terrorist, so we're going to put them on, right. One of the things that they have been criticized quite a bit about is this watch list that they maintain. The Department of Homeland security has been criticized for many things over the years. How about the terrorist and other watch lists? It's impossible to get your name off, even when there was no reason to be there in the first place? "Watch-Lists"?Ĭraig Peterson: You've heard about the no-fly list, right? Yeah.
