US law enforcement warns of "anti-tech extremism" as AI hatred grows

Ever wonder what’s fueling the recent surge in anti-tech sentiment? Well, according to Daniel Boguslaw at WIRED, US law enforcement is now warning about a growing threat — 'anti-tech extremism.' With attacks on CEOs, protests at data centers, and fears of AI job losses, federal agencies are shifting gears. They’re now surveilling a broader range of people who oppose technology, seeing them as a potential danger. This crackdown follows President Trump’s memo, which directs authorities to target groups with anti-American or anti-capitalist views, and Sebastian Gorka’s recent strategy emphasizing left-wing extremists as a top concern. So, here’s the thing — what does this mean for your freedom to speak out or innovate? Are we heading into a world where opposition to tech could be seen as extremism? As Daniel Boguslaw highlights, the lines are blurring, and the real question is whether these measures will protect or suppress dissent in the name of security.
