Global security state

Background

The emergence of the global security state gained prominence during the Cold War, as nations invested in expansive surveillance, intelligence-sharing, and security apparatuses to manage cross-border threats. Over recent decades, evolving technologies, transnational terrorism, and cyber threats have heightened international attention, prompting intensified coordination and scrutiny of state-level security measures. Scholarly and civil society critiques have highlighted its growth as a worldwide phenomenon impacting governance, privacy, and the dynamics of power among nations.

Claim

Around the world there appears to be a collusion between gigantic, self-interested corporations and paranoid security-obsessed anti-human governments. These two entities are using online data and sophisticated algorithms to develop images, not only of our purchasing decisions and online patterns of use, but of our thoughts and words, so that deviation from the desired end can be mapped, tracked, monitored, rewarded and punished.
