Klippenstein reports a DOJ warning that people furthering foreign 'goals' through public activity must register, aimed at AI data-center opponents
Ken Klippenstein reports a Justice Department warning that anyone furthering a foreign power's goals through 'any public activity', including demonstrations, must notify the government or face 'significant civil or criminal sanctions'. It follows Trump calling opposition to AI data centers a 'SICK conspiracy' that only China benefits from, and Sen. Tom Cotton's June letter asking DOJ to pursue FARA cases against data-center opponents. A March Gallup poll found 71% of Americans oppose local AI data centers. Only Klippenstein reports the September warning itself.
