AI Unverifiable I found an exact-text match on a third-party X mirror, YouCongress, which attributes the statement to Electronic Frontier Foundation and links to the cited X status, but that mirror itself labels the source "Unverified," and the X URL did not yield accessible text here. EFF’s own materials support the underlying idea in similar but not identical wording (for example, "Technology can never predict crime" and warnings about harm to overpoliced communities), so I could not confirm this quote as verbatim from a reliable primary source.
