They just randomly pick 2-3 trigger words to add to their headlines, don’t they?
its flock, axon cameras and entering it all in to PALANTIR database.
If it has a microphone, it is always listening
If it has a camera, it is always watching
If it has a radio, it is always talking
Every traffic light has a camera that feeds to a real time crime center where all your movements are tracked and logged.
There are at least 2 balloons and a dozen KNOWN domestic surveillance satellites all with sub 10cm resolution.
The US government knows everything everyone is doing, they just have to decide when revealing how they’re spying on everyone is worth catching someone. For now they just pass the info to local LEOs to preform pretext stops and take them for whatever it is. Just watch dashcam of any drug bust from the last 10 years. “You were swerving in your lane, oh look, 500000 fent pills.” Police are being fed illegally obtained intel from the feds.
Yes to most of what you’re saying, but
The US government knows everything everyone is doing
No. That’s what they want you to think. It does know a lot more than we think, but nowhere near everything. It likely does know where your phones (aka you if you’re with it) are at all times, despite having GPS on or off. It also likely collects everything or most things you do online unless you’re really careful with Tor and what not, even then it’s not clear.
Many new phones have a bluetooth beacon that keeps working when the phone is “powered off”.

“Some newer Samsung Galaxy models also feature enhanced tracking capabilities that work even when the main operating system is shut down. These phones can still be detected by nearby devices using Bluetooth Low Energy signals, similar to how Samsung Galaxy Tags work. This means your phone might still appear on the network even when it seems completely off to you.”https://techpp.com/2025/03/25/what-is-powered-off-finding/
“Powered Off Finding is a Find My Device feature available on Android 15 that allows you to track your lost or stolen Android phone even when it’s powered off.
…
Powered Off Finding requires specialized hardware on the phone itself to be trackable in a powered-off state. The way this works is that the phones that support the feature come with what’s called precomputed Bluetooth beacons in their Bluetooth controller.”
What if I wrote the firmware for it? I don’t think it’s always listening then.

Snowden rings a bell.
Jon Oliver’s interview with Snowden was incredible. “That’s horrifying, but regular people don’t understand it. Can they see your dick pics?”
Got hit with paywall and can’t get archive to work. Anyone got text/ screenshot/ archive/ a summary?
I heard something maybe related to it a few months ago by Massie who had made a comment to the press when announcing the surveillance accountability act with naomi brockwell (and Boebert). He was vague and just said something about a loophole being used to spy on Americans
Thank you! I don’t know why it wasn’t working for me
Looking at the thumbnail …it’s hiding behind Republicans and Maga even though the truth is that it is “America”.
Yes, that’s what you’re supposed to do with secrets: Hide them.
