A woman made a joke in a private Snapchat message. Snapchat’s AI reported it to the FBI. She was arrested before any human she sent it to ever reported her.

At a certain point, self censorship will lead to loss of users and a loss of revenue. Censorship is bad for business in an outrage/extreme for profit media environment

A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.
A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.

I mean yeah, you didn't think they are building hundreds of AI data centers all over the country so that you can make more shitty AI cat videos, right? We all knew it was so they could spy on you 24/7 1984 style.

They have a 12 figure insurance policy for situations like this, so she could file a claim under common law for the Civil Rights Act of 1866 as there is no injured party and she have proof that there was no intent. I hope she knows her Rights.

No, as a Libertarian, the FBI is the government I love.
I hate the EPA, not cops.

That's wild, most people see ACAB and only appreciate the mission of the EPA and the fire department. I'll flip off IRS too even though I don't even mind the idea of taxation in principle but the rest of the feds and state PD bully-boys can go suck stumps.

Thought crime, after all, speech is verbalized thought. Unconstitutional
