According to the article, the government states that this is specifically to assist with NSPM-7. Here is NSPM-7

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence/

“domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns… trespass… and civil disorder.”

Have you downloaded a picture of an ice agent’s face? Are you planning to go to a protest or participate in a strike? This is you.

I’d also like to draw attention to:
“Investigations should prioritize crimes such as the following: conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. 241”

That law criminalizes an agreement (conspiracy) between two or more people, to interfere with constitutionally or statutorily secured rights. The reason this law was chosen is that the commission of an overt act is not an element of the offense. The conspiracy itself is the crime.

The offense is also a felony punishable by any means up to and explicitly including, life imprisonment and the death penalty.

Then the national security directive goes on to state that it is now “a violation of someone’s rights” to express displeasure or discomfort at their anti-trans views, their racist views, their religious views, or to say anything anti-american.

Have you expressed any of these views? That’s you. And it doesn’t matter how well you hide, this system will be using biometric data, like the cadence of your messages and your word choice, to unmask you. This is something AI can do very well, and the federal government is looking to do this within the pre-existing datasets of messages held by Reddit, Meta, Twitter, etc.

Don’t tread on me they say

Wait does this count like treading on me?

How do I get on the list?
