Don't worry, Trump will put a stop to this quickly. The investigation I mean.

I've been calling this for years. The next holocaust will be more efficient than Hitler could ever imagine beyond his wildest dreams. Big tech knows more than people know about themselves. We're all on lists we don't even know we're on. People will be discriminated for reasons they didn't know they could be.
IBM programmed the first one you described
Not too late to install all the tracker blockers, all the metrics blockers, and also start using plug-ins and tools to pollute the data one creates online so it is full of noise. Leave the cloud as much as possible too. Minimize social media use. Minimize use of mobile phones for social media as they are data polluters. Disable and cease using health tracking features in watches and such. Delete (well, "delete") what you can now before data preservation laws change. Companies don't like the cost of saving everyone's data so they often do have retention policies.
Any of these steps help.
Longer-term, all medical databases storing patient records should have tons of fake patients inserted to create noise there too, in lieu of better, safer storage policies. This is more of a challenge. People at risk may want to request copies of their medical records now and see if the provider has a deletion policy.
People will be discriminated for reasons they didn't know they could be.
camera pans over to r/dogfree where they're hating anybody who has even been near a dog
Dog free??? Even Satan fuck with dogs cause he knows they are loyal and rad as fuck
May our collective military boot action find the correct metaphorical set of balls to kick onto the legal concrete. I want those balls to make a nice social media pop noise.
FBI on Jan 20 Afternoon: "The racist texts are being sent by democrats and antifa as a false flag operation to blame republicans. Heil Trump! President for life!"
Trump will tell these people that eggs are $1.00 per dozen and they're repeat it as fact while they buy $7 eggs
Arrested Development won't be nearly as funny when a banana is $10.
Tin foil hat time: What if it's the Russians just trying to spark a civil war over here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
I also remember reading how there's evidence that the USSR was funding both sides of the Civil Rights Movement in the US, with the hopes that it would tear the country apart.
Yeah this is just regular hat type thinking
No, that's been their plan the entire time.
It most likely is a state actor with the scale at play.
What should be more concerning is that they have these lists of people to target.
Just pay a data broker. I'm sure it's trivial to find demographics tied to phone numbers.
People are terrible at infosec.
Honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic lol. Yeah, autocracies have long maintained that democracy and freedom of speech isn't sustainable because you can always use free speech to manipulate the voters to democratically elect an autocrat who ends the democracy. Russia has been openly trying to demonstrate this since the cold war.

I think there’s a lot of ways to connect those dots. It’s not very “tin foil” in my opinion. There’s no way to “invade” the US. They have to destroy it from within.
There’s no way to “invade” the US
There will be if Trump gives Putin Alaska. Which he PROBABLY won't, but the fact that it's not a 100% certainty is not ideal..
He won’t. There is too much oil
That's the stupidest shit I've heard so far lmao
What points to Alaska being given up? What world does this happen in?
The world where Putin is saying that it belongs to Russia and Trump is Putin's bitch. AKA possibly this one.
I can imagine Putin offering a "partnership", where Russia gets to lease drilling land in Alaska, except the lease will be way too low and Russia will be late on payments.
Trump's lawyer used the idea as an argument against impeachment.
https://www.thinkadvisor.com/2020/01/24/what-if-the-united-states-did-sell-alaska/
Putin's allies have floated the idea of annexing Alaska, just like Crimea since then.

Reality is faaaar stupider than fiction, because fiction has to make sense.
I'm sure we'll be in a Hunt for Red October situation eventually.
Trapped on a submarine with a bunch of horny seamen in a stressful life or death situation? Don’t threaten me with a good time.
But yes, that would suck. The US people cannot handle stress.
Another poster suggested a Russian disinformation campaign, I would suggest a more home-grown hate faction that was grown from the poll-watcher contingent. They culled and sifted lists of people that were most likely to "spoil the vote" and had nothing else to do do but harass people.
Ya I did, it probably is, thanks for bringing this up. We need to get the word out! Fuck misinformation!
“Some recipients reported being told they were selected for deportation or to report to a re-education camp,” the agency said.
How is anyone supposed to believe this? Oh wait, I remember. Because it was voted for.
It's exactly that threat that is why we are emigrating. If my daughter were marched into a conversion therapy camp, I would never forgive myself.
Hey, we get what we voted for. Our only hope is that people stand up to them. But I won’t hold my breath.
Just so everyone is absolutely clear, AT&t, Verizon, etc, are 1000%
(If it)* Was not the sale of that information to unscrupulous parties, it was a lack of proper configurations and security measures to prevent that information from leaking.
Edit: a word or two.
Uh oh, did you accidentally the whole thing?
Yup, he accidentally the whole coke bottle’d.
