Goverment agencies are monitoring your posts
The short version: A mass-surveillance-focused channel flags government monitoring of social media posts, a reminder that online and physical tracking — like ALPRs — are two sides of the same coin.
Our Take
The channel Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency keeps a steady drumbeat going on how governments and platforms quietly watch what ordinary people post online, and this video adds another data point to that archive. We can't verify every claim made in a 400-plus video catalog, but the broader point lines up with what we track every day: surveillance infrastructure rarely stays in one lane. Agencies that want to know what you're saying also tend to want to know where you're driving, who you're meeting, and when you're home.
That's exactly why ALPR networks like Flock Safety matter to this conversation. A license plate reader logging your car at 2am isn't separate from a social media monitoring program — they're both pieces of the same dragnet, built by different vendors but feeding the same appetite for behavioral data on people who've done nothing wrong. When digital speech and physical movement are both logged, retained, and shared across agencies with little oversight, the line between 'public safety tool' and 'surveillance state' gets thin fast.
