DHS Sought to Assign ‘Risk Scores’ to Social Media Users, Documents Show

DHS Sought to Assign ‘Risk Scores’ to Social Media Users, Documents Show. They’re just itching to use their version of the CCP’s social credit score so they can control you more.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sought to assign “risk scores” to social media users as part of an initiative dubbed “Night Fury,” documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show.

Night Fury sought to develop a methodology for combing through social media posts and content to identify potential criminal or terrorist activity.

According to a complaint made to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the data collected under the program included social media posts, photos, and videos.

The OIG ruled that sufficient safeguards had not been put in place on the program to respect the privacy of American citizens.
