When I told people this in 2010, I was painted as a kook. We haven't been secure in our persons or papers in quite awhile now.

Now I try to keep a low profile on social media. It's a place to share pictures of kids (who I never tag or identify by name) for grandparents. I both don't post anything political and avoid the posts of others that do.

And the various big tech companies are working hard to suppress speech they don't like by calling it "hate speech". This gives them cover with the media. Post something like: "I don't think we should be allowing millions of illegals into the country" and your post will be taken down promptly and you will be given a timeout if not outright banned for life. Post: "I think we should kill all of the Trump fascists by cutting of their genitals and stuffing them in their mouths while they bleed to death" and that post might get taken down, but only after thousands of complaints over several weeks. The poster certainly won't get a timeout.

BTW, wait until government gets in on this game. Kiss your rights good-bye. Turns out we won't need psychic triplets to be prosecuted for pre-crime. Mark my words: someone will get jailed because a predictive model judges they are likely to commit violence. Think it's a stretch? We already jail people for being drunk and driving because they are likely to commit another crime. Some jurisdictions already use predictive models to set bail.
