Recent investigations and hearings by the US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have unveiled a concerning trend of surveillance and data sharing between private banks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other federal entities, aimed at monitoring American citizens without proper warrants. This includes transactions involving VPNs, gift cards, and contributions to crowdsourcing sites. Witnesses, including Jordan Peterson, testified to the unconstitutional nature of these practices, emphasizing the threat to individual freedoms and the private sphere. Peterson highlighted government-corporate collusion as a danger to freedom, citing instances where banks refused service to conservative-leaning organizations under government pressure. The surveillance efforts targeted individuals opposing COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and those searching for terms like 'MAGA' and 'Trump'. The Southern Poverty Law Center's attempt to involve the DOJ's hate crimes division against conservative groups, the creation of 'profiles' on Americans kept in a 'secret portal' shared with 650 companies to track 'extremists', and the targeting of political dissidents and 'anti-human governments' were also discussed. This has raised bipartisan concerns over the erosion of Fourth Amendment rights and the potential for abuse in targeting political dissidents, including implications on social media censorship, abortion rights, and the surveillance of mainstream conservative organizations.
