A new WIRED investigation exposes how federal agencies, including the DHS and FBI along with fusion centers nationwide, are now tracking what they call “anti-tech extremists.”

The label is broad enough to potentially include ordinary citizens raising concerns about AI job displacement, data centers consuming massive amounts of power and water, and the rapid expansion of unchecked technology.

More than 1,000 pages of internal documents reviewed by WIRED reveal intelligence reports that link public opposition to AI and data centers with “anti-tech violent extremism.”

Indicators flagged in these reports include attending town hall meetings, taking photos near construction sites, participating in local budget discussions, and sharing information online about rising electricity costs or environmental strain.

This monitoring comes as residents in at least 42 states push back against data center projects that strain local infrastructure and drive up energy prices.

Most of these groups operate through legal channels and civic participation.

Yet fusion center assessments appear to lump them in with fringe movements, sometimes drawing loose connections to historical extremists.

The scale of this worries civil liberties advocates.

Law enforcement is documenting protected activities such as public dissent, neighborhood organizing, and criticism of major tech companies.

Experts point out this approach mirrors earlier surveillance efforts that later drew criticism for overbreadth and chilling legitimate speech.

To be clear, any actual violence deserves investigation and prosecution.

But treating widespread, reasonable anxiety about job losses, privacy erosion, and the environmental toll of Big Tech infrastructure as a form of extremism represents a significant shift in priorities.

It suggests that questioning elite-driven technological change could now place individuals on the radar of domestic intelligence efforts.

With AI systems spreading quickly and data centers multiplying across communities, the public has every right to debate these changes without fear of being labeled a threat.

Americans should not have to worry that voicing concerns will land them in threat assessments.

This development deserves close attention and greater transparency from those directing these programs.

As I have said , numerous times over the last fourteen years... The increasing militarization of the police is designed to turn the police force into an army of occupation for the totalitarian take down of our country...
