Yes. Unfortunately, these systems are also a great gift for any upcoming fascist regime (like the Trump junta currently) which will not only happily continue using the existing infrastructure but also extend it like mad.
Maybe humanity's greatest weaknesses overall: the lack of foresight and the lack of wisdom learned from historic precedents (e.g. Nazi Germany? Forgotten by now). Everything's always about short-term goals, ignoring any long-term disadvantages. See also: climate disaster.
That's a capitalism weakness, not a human weakness though.

Bet you $500 that the next democrat president won’t tear down the system and will in fact give even more contracts to Palantir & co.

How hard did Musk press his fingers on his other hand? Or does his blood not flow that hard?

Every part of the world is. It's not unique to the US. Laws need to be passed to stop this.
Laws aren't enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we're going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.

Uh, do the kids these days really not know about the post-9/11 Patriot Act?

Same thing

"Turning into" lol. The USA and all their partner countries like the ones in the 5 Eyes program have all been mass techno-surveillance states for decades.
The 5 eyes countries are not allowed to spy on their own citizens, but they can freely share data.
Isn't there an obvious loophole here.

Well Obama 'fixed' it.
Made it even more draconian but called it the Freedom Act.
Shit like that works every time.

it's already a surveillance state and both the red and blue party are complicit.

Shhhh... Don't make it even more obvious. The fig leaf covering it is already so flaccid, that it might instantaneously turn into dust at the slightest disturbance.

You Yankees really do live in a bubble.

Probably realizing that Democrats can now trace who bought MAGA hats and they too have guns.

Here's a 20 year old album about it (it's really cool that my favorite band is called ISIS. It's neat how they broke up in 2010 but I still can only wear the merch at home)

Maybe not the best example.
At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
And in his case probably rapes.
Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss. -

There's a pokemon for it.
