Companies and three-letter agencies have persecuted environmental activists by all sorts of shitty means for decades, using "AI" to completely bury them online

Companies and three-letter agencies have persecuted environmental activists by all sorts of shitty means for decades, using "AI" to completely bury them online will be a welcome tool for them, I'm sure. As it is for totalitarian governments. It's generally really weird to me how all these discussions seem to devolve into whataboutism instantly, and how that almost always takes up the top spots and most of the room. "Hey, you should get this lump checked out, it might be cancer!" "Oh yeah? With the crime in this city, I'm more likely to get killed for my phone than die of cancer". What does that achieve? I mean, if people are so busy campaigning against nuclear proliferation or climate change that they have not a single spare cycle to consider additional threats, fine. But then they wouldn't be here, they wouldn't have the time for it, so.
