NY Gov. Kathy Hochul announces plans to use 'surveillance' to monitor hate speech on social media



The woke state of New York is using “hate speech” and “safety” to justify monitoring citizens’ social media accounts using surveillance technology.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who Sara Gonzales says “is in the competition for the worst ever,” recently came out with a statement claiming that New York is ramping up its surveillance protocols in an effort to counter online negativity.

“We're very focused on the data we're collecting from surveillance efforts – what's being said on social media platforms – and we have launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms. … Our Social Media Analysis Unit has ramped up its monitoring of sites to catch incitement to violence [and] direct threats to others, and all this is in response to our desire, our strong commitment to ensure that not only do New Yorkers be safe but they also feel safe,” Hochul stated.

“Of course, she is saying this in relation to the anti-Semitic attacks that are going on,” says Sara, who acknowledges that the “pro-Palestine rallies that are happening [are] very, very unnerving,” but that doesn’t excuse the “problems with government monitoring your speech on social media.”

Sara astutely points out that this is coming from the same party that said Donald Trump “incited violence … on January 6 when he told people to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.”

That and the fact that people in the U.K. are literally being arrested for “deadnaming or misgendering someone online” in the name of “hate speech” has people concerned that Hochul’s efforts are about a lot more than just monitoring anti-Semitism.

The problem with policing people’s social media platforms for “hate speech” and “inciting violence” is the matter of who gets to determine how those terms are defined.

“Don’t get me wrong,” says Sara, “a credible threat is a credible threat and should be treated as such.”

Unfortunately, from what we’ve seen from the left, “hate speech” can be as benign as disagreeing with the newfound gender ideology, and “inciting violence” can amount to encouraging people to exercise their right to peacefully protest.

As crime rates soar, New York Gov. attempts to 'improve public safety' by changing law so that 'inmates' will now be referred to as 'incarcerated individuals'



New York Governor Kathy Hochul has just signed a law that stipulates "inmates" in her state will now be referred to as "incarcerated individuals," a move that is unlikely to stymie the surge in violent crime that has recently plagued nearly every major metropolitan area in America, including New York City.

According to a statement released by her office, Hochul claims that the language change will help "justice-involved" persons feel better about themselves and may perhaps encourage them to engage more seriously in their rehabilitation efforts.

"Individuals impacted by the criminal justice system have long noted that terms such as felon, inmate, prisoner, and convict dehumanize individuals and perpetuate the idea that incarcerated people should be permanently demonized and stigmatized," the statement reads in part. "This language change within state law will reduce stigma against people involved in the criminal justice system and therefore eliminate barriers to opportunities that they face."

Hochul also added that "[b]y treating all New Yorkers with dignity and respect, we can improve public safety while ensuring New Yorkers have a fair shot at a second chance."

Democratic state Sen. Gustavo Rivera, who sponsored the legislation, agreed.

"For too long, we as a society have thought of incarcerated individuals as less than people," Gustavo said. "The use of the word ‘inmate’ further dehumanizes and demoralizes them. This is another concrete step our State is taking to make our criminal justice system one that focuses on rehabilitation, rather than relying solely on punishment."

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo actually signed the legislation making the language change last summer. However, due to legal technicalities, the law had to be re-signed in the 2021-2022 legislative session, according to WYRK.

While Cuomo, Rivera, Hochul, and other New York officials appear optimistic that the change in language will dramatically alter the self-esteem of convicted criminals, it is unlikely to alter the wave of violent crime in New York City or the depleted morale of the NYPD who have been charged with combating it.

Fox 5 NY reports that violent crime on NYC subways last month was up 57% over July 2021. Meanwhile, big city police departments are struggling to attract new recruits and retain those already on staff.

"We’re getting more calls for service and there are fewer people to answer them,” said Philadelphia police spokesperson Eric Gripp. “This isn’t just an issue in Philadelphia. Departments all over are down and recruitment has been difficult."

Still, Gov. Hochul remains confident that the new law "correcting outdated terminology" will mitigate the "harmful stigma against incarcerated people."

Terrorists firebomb pro-life center in Buffalo, New York



Authorities in Buffalo, New York are investigating a fire at a pro-life pregnancy center early Tuesday morning as a case of arson.

CompassCare, a pro-life reproductive health organization that services patients in the Rochester and Buffalo area, said Tuesday that its Buffalo office was "firebombed" by pro-abortion terrorists.

The Amherst Police Department and firefighters responded to a fire alarm at CompassCare's location at 1230 Eggert Road that morning. Police said the building was on fire when first responders arrived.

Firefighters from the Eggertsville Hose Co. were assisted by the Getzville, N Bailey, and Snyder Fire Departments and worked to put the fire out, police said. Two firefighters were treated for minor injuries.

\u201c[AMHERST POLICE, NY] -- MEDIA RELEASE: Police Investigate Suspicious Fire\n@wgrz @news4buffalo @wkbw @SPECNews1BUF @thebuffalonews @wben @wbfo @wnynews @wnynewsnow @FOX29Buffalo\u201d

CompassCare wrote in a blog post that its office was firebombed. The pregnancy center said windows in the reception room and nurses' office were broken and fires were started within.

The apparent arsonists also left graffiti on the building that read, "Jane Was Here." CompassCare said this was a reference to the radical pro-abortion terorrist group Jane's Revenge, which took responsibility for firebombing a similar pro-life organization in Madison, Wisconsin last month.

In a May 31, 2022 post on an anarchist website, Jane's Revenge called for a "night of rage" when the U.S. Supreme Court hands down its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case concerning Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. A leaked draft majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicated the court has voted to uphold Mississippi's law and overturn its landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

Jane's Revenge urged "militant action" and said "we have selected a time of 8pm for actions nationwide to begin" whenever the court hands down its decision.

“This is the pro-abortion ‘Kristallnacht.’ Because of this act of violence, the needs of women facing unplanned pregnancy will go unmet and babies will die," CompassCare CEO Jim Harden said in a statement.

CompassCare said pro-life service centers have been targeted with violence for months, both online and in-person.

"Ironically, New York’s Governor not only ignored the violence but instead earmarked $35 million in tax payer funds to increase security at abortion clinics. Adding insult to injury the New York legislature passed a bill investigating pro-life pregnancy centers precisely because they do not perform abortions," the organization wrote in its blog post.

Federal government officials warned last month that the Supreme Court's impending decision on Roe could lead to an increase of political violence. A May 13 memo from the Department of Homeland Security revealed that authorities were monitoring violent threats made by pro-abortion rights activists against the court, justices, lawmakers, churches, and both pro-life and abortion clinics.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
