    IMO, the "AI" part of this story is just a distraction.

    The real story is going after people for protesting and voicing their opinion. A clear move towards authoritarianism and potentially fascism. Seems like it touches 4 of &quot;The 14 Characteristics of Fascism&quot; : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ratical.org&#x2F;ratville&#x2F;CAH&#x2F;fasci14chars.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ratical.org&#x2F;ratville&#x2F;CAH&#x2F;fasci14chars.html
