"Problematic Emotions" of social media

"When the government sets about to marry its limitless appetite for
social control with the seemingly limitless computing power of artificial intelligence, the end result is destined to be Orwell’s “
thoughtcrime” – a concept that was once exclusively in the domain of speculative fiction — becoming reality. Life imitates art, it seems.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has reportedly been partnering with an AI tech firm called Fivecast to deploy social media surveillance software that, according to its proprietor, purportedly detects “problematic” emotions of social media users and subsequently reports them to law enforcement for further action.
