All of this is completely off topic from my post. "White supremacists" were just an example. It could have just as easily been neo nazis, or Islamic extremists, or whatever.

Your post is similar to if I proposed a hypothetical about addition using apples, and you posted a screed about how apples are overused in American cuisine and their nutritional value is suspect, especially relative to oranges and pears.

All of those groups represent a tiny subset of the population ill suited to mass surveillance dragnets and well suited to on-the-ground policing and community engagement (as in, getting sane members of those groups to snitch on the insane).

Just the other week I saw the news that until recently we had 300 (!) Saudi nationals training to fly planes right here in the US. Software won't help us with stupidity/sabotage of this magnitude.
