FBI and DHS Classify 'Anti-Tech Extremism' as Domestic Threat — 1,000 Pages of Unpublished Reports Obtained by WIRED
WIRED obtained over 1,000 pages of unpublished DHS, FBI, and fusion center reports revealing that federal agencies have created a novel 'anti-tech violent extremism' category following an April Molotov cocktail attack on Sam Altman's home and a shooting in Indianapolis after a data center vote. The classification does not appear in any publicly available DHS/FBI domestic extremism guides and could potentially ensnare peaceful data center protesters and AI skeptics — critics warn it mirrors the surveillance overreach applied to BLM and environmental movements.
