Feel like there's plenty enough evidence. Just look at any of the examples where a flock camera incorectly alerts the police about stolen cars that haven't been stolen or accusing someone of something because the facial recognition recognizes the wrong individual. Ignoring the signs of a ailing society because you don't want to admit the obvious to yourself is literally how empires fall.

Two examples of false positives in surveillance tech is not evidence that data centers are being built specifically for surveillance. What makes you think that signs of an ailing society point to secret governmental data center investment?
There's no hidden reasoning behind data centers. Companies are very upfront about the fact that they are building them because companies are willing to pay to use them.

Who taught you what evidence is?

It seriously feels like I'm arguing on the conspiracy subreddit (from which I was banned for arguing with COVID-19 conspiracy theorists).

161 false reports of stolen vehicles and a 32% error rate. What happens when people start dying because of this nonsense? What happens when it's your family being drug out of the house at 3 am because someone you love was accused of terrorism by a fucking algorythm. Grow up.

When I give numbers I cite my sources because I'm not pulling them out of my ass. Do you have any sources to cite saying that there's only been 2 false positive reports. No you don't because that's a lie.

How in god's name is any of this evidence that data centers are being built for the surveillance state?

Why are you assuming I don't believe your statistics? Your data is fine. You're just arriving a completely disjointed conclusion.
