SCARY: British Army Now Spying on Social Media To Detect ‘Thought Crimes’ By Its Citizens

The UK Ministry of Defence has unveiled their intentions to spy on social media platforms in order to uncover ‘thought crimes’ perpetrated by British people.

The military will begin “automated scanning of social media platforms” to detect “changes in population sentiment,” according to a MoD Data Strategy for Defence paper.

There’s nothing frightening about that… nothing at all.

“Nowhere does the document explain why a strategy paper has gone so far off the beaten track that it promotes collecting data the MoD doesn’t have and using it for decidedly non-military purposes,” notes the Register.

Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the military has increasingly turned its attention inward towards its own citizens rather than doing what it should do, which is fighting foreign adversaries.

As author Laura Dodsworth revealed, GCHQ has embroiled itself in anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown messaging by targeting people who challenge the official COVID narrative online.

“She says some people believe they have been targeted by the 77th Brigade, part of the 6th Division of the Army,” reported the Telegraph.

"the official COVID narrative..."

Oceania is at war with Eastasia.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Orwell was spot on.

“I AM A THOUGHT CRIMINAL”. Great idea for tee shirts.

1984 has come true with the implementation of the “Thought Police”.

Yes he was. So was the guy who thought up the flick V for Vendetta. Though the lefties who made that flick had never read Pogo. “ We have met the enemy and he is us!”

There are t-shirts available with that theme. I ordered one that says "THOUGHT CRIMINAL." There are also "1984" and Orwell-themed shirts.

Hint: “Stop using social media and delete existing accounts!”

Easy fix. Don’t have a social media account. Then relax and enjoy the rest of your life.

If more people read the novel 1984 their eyes will be open and they will see that much of what happens inthe novel is now happening here.

I read a good idea for us in case they shut down the media to us, every Saturday morning at 9 AM lets meet in front of the local library.

"meet in front of the local library"

Unless you live near downtown anywhere, in which case the space is occupied by a homeless encampment.....
