Online Searches That Could Now Land Minnesotans On Government Watchlists

They often say that "Big Brother is watching," and in a modern sense, it's largely true. While we may not be being monitored by one single source, we are being monitored through extensive government and corporate surveillance that uses technology like facial recognition, smart devices, cell phone data, and online tracking.

While Google is overwhelmingly the most popular search engine globally, holding a dominant market share (often near 90%), it doesn't maintain its own watchlist.

However, certain suspicious search patterns can flag you for review and potentially get you added to a government watchlist like the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) database, leading to scrutiny, travel restrictions, or investigations, as your online activity is tracked and can be accessed by law enforcement with proper warrants.

Therefore, it's important to remember that you should never search for things on the list below, not for project research, morbid curiosity, or as a joke. I'll assume you're an upstanding resident of Minnesota, and not someone who actually deserves to be on a watch list.
