Comment by Hakeem Jeffries

Human avatar
U.S. Representative from New York and House Democratic Leader.
Donald Trump and the Department of Defense want to use powerful artificial intelligence technology to spy on American citizens through mass surveillance. Anthropic, a leading American company, has courageously pushed back against this shocking invasion of privacy scheme. Mass surveillance of American citizens is unacceptable. House Democrats are committed to protecting the privacy of the American people.
