NY Gov. Kathy Hochul announces Orwellian social media monitoring

If the COVID-19 pandemic taught America anything it’s that once authorities realized how much power they can exert to control our lives, they would be reluctant to ever surrender that power.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced that New York is stepping up “surveillance efforts” on social media, citing the way New Yorkers are “treating each other” as the impetus for the Orwellian campaign.

After noting that she deployed the State Police “to protect our synagogues and yeshivas and mosques and any other place that could be susceptible to hate crimes or violence,” and contacted the Department of Homeland Security to share information about potential threats, Hochul focused in on social media.
