Nonsense. Government organizations never do things in secret. The very idea is patently absurd. I mean, how would that even happen in practice, someone does something without blasting it on Twitter, as I said, absurd.

Maybe the things that get blasted on twitter are formally secret things that government agencies do that someone blew the whistle on?

Which means there could be an untold number of things which they do which are currently secret.

I heard once that things, sometimes shady things, exist outside of the twitterverse.

There are boatloads of laws in any democracy that would never survive a referendum. This law is one example.

Let's face facts here: 90% of the aim is to make policing cheaper and more pervasive. To make it possible for algorithms to police people, because then those algorithms can replace attention by police officers. Even most police officers themselves wouldn't agree to that.

>formally

or formerly?

Could be both…
