In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers ‘AI-enabled’ object recognition in images and video, and detection of ‘risk terms and phrases’ across multiple languages.
Who isn’t in favor of protecting national security? And Lord knows the Biden administration should do more something to vet and restrict “inbound travelers” at our southern border.
And yet…one is tempted to ask: What could go wrong?

What other methods will it deploy to keep us from stepping out of line? And who determines what is “problematic,” anyway? (Okay, that’s an easy one.

I think you just caused the Problematic Sentiment Detector to blow a fuse.
It is very important to cap property taxation directly. Just capping assessment values is not enough.
We have to be able to endure until a majority of working women and Hispanics realize that voting for Democrats is a bad idea.
We also should seek to reduce hospital costs so we can self-insure.

Here in Florida my likely property taxes will be $1,230.54 on a house of about 1078 square feet of air-conditioned space.
At $17K, you are essentially renting your place from the public employee unions.
Why does this not surprise me?
Given the way things are going, I have been convinced over the last two months that I will be either dead or in prison for my political views and/or my religious beliefs by the middle of 2025.
