DHS Secretly Funding AI That Flags Parents as 'Terrorist Threats' for Homeschooling Criticisms—Who Benefits?
In a leaked internal memo, the Department of Homeland Security is revealed to have funneled millions into a controversial AI system that analyzes social media posts, flagging phrases like "government overreach in education" as potential "domestic terrorism" indicators. Critics argue the program, dubbed "Project Guardian," targets homeschool advocates and parents questioning public school mandates—all under the guise of fighting extremism. But who stands to gain from silencing grassroots dissent? Tech contractors and federal agencies, say whistleblowers, as the line between security and surveillance blurs.
