INSIDER LEAKS: DHS EYES ALGORITHM TO PREDICT PROTESTS BEFORE THEY EVEN FORM
Sources deep within DHS say a new AI surveillance system, code-named "Echo," quietly began beta-testing in three major U.S. cities last week—without Congressional oversight. The algorithm crawls encrypted chat logs and social media sentiment, flagging "pre-action gatherings" hours before any permit is filed. Whistleblowers inside the Office of Intelligence and Analysis warn the threshold is dangerously low; a simple shared meme about rent increases could trigger a live human review. One source described it as a "second, invisible layer of policing." When pressed, a DHS spokesperson only stated they "do not comment on operational methods." The public won't know until the first false alarm makes headlines.
