New York's Hunger Games Governor Is Now "Collecting Data" From "Surveillance Effo

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced threw off some serious Hunger Games vibes Monday, announcing that the state of New York has been 'collecting data' from social media platforms in order to combat "hate speech" following an alleged rise in antisemitic attacks.

The announcement came after Hochul met with the state's Jewish leaders, local law enforcement and federal authorities.

"It's painful to me as the governor of this great state — that has been known for its diversity, and how we celebrate different cultures, different religions, different viewpoints — it's painful to see the cruelty with which New Yorkers are treating each other," she said, not letting a crisis go to waste.

"Everywhere from college campuses, to our streets, to schools, to playgrounds; even as they're entering their houses of worship," Hochul said, noting that she "immediately deployed the State Police to protect our synagogues and yeshivas and mosques and any other place that could be susceptible to hate crimes or violence."

According to the NYPD, hate incidents against Jews have increased nearly 331% in New York City since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

And after meeting with top Jews in NY, Hochul plans "to catch incitement to violence" and "direct threats to others" via social media surveillance.
