We are China light, basically ---> Florida: "Lawmakers there are pushing for a state database that would combine individuals’ educational, criminal justice, and social-service records with their social media data, then share it all with law enforcement."
I get the temptation. You can find an event that, just maybe, have been prevented with surveillance PLUS the benefit of hindsight. Unfortunately, before any event, there are just too many false positives for this surveillance to be really useful. No hindsight before the event.
