The push to surveil and monitor techno-skeptics comes at the same time that federal agencies have begun circulating their own surveillance memorandums of a new domestic extremist category: “anti-tech extremism.” As Wired reported in May, this new threat category is being used by the FBI and DHS to target constitutionally protected speech and assembly, regardless of whether or not participants have committed, or intend to commit, a crime. In leaked State Department documents obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein, Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed employees that the agency was monitoring a new alliance of “militant anti-tech and eco-terrorist movements.”
