The Justice Department is now threatening criminal sanctions against people protesting AI data centers, claiming public demonstrations "designed to further the propaganda or other goals of the foreign power" could result in "significant criminal sanctions." This is the move: criminalize dissent by calling it espionage. No evidence needed that any protest is actually coordinated with a foreign government. Just be loud about AI development and the feds can paint you as a national security threat. It's a spectacular abuse of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, weaponized against domestic opposition.
