>    The United States government is accelerating efforts to
>    monitor social media to preempt major anti-government protests
>    in the US, according to scientific research, official
>    government documents, and patent filings reviewed by
>    Motherboard. The social media posts of American citizens who
>    don't like President Donald Trump are the focus of the latest
>    US military-funded research. The research, funded by the US
>    Army and co-authored by a researcher based at the West Point
>    Military Academy, is part of a wider effort by the Trump
>    administration to consolidate the US military's role and
>    influence on domestic intelligence.
