There were two red lines, as I understand it -- first, automated kill bots, and second, mass surveillance.

[mediaman]

Mass domestic surveillance of American citizens (they were OK with surveillance of other countries).

[goatlover]

Neither of those red lines should be controversial. What American citizen thinks terminators and Big Brother are desirable?

[ks2048]

MAGA (as long as the terminators are pointed towards the other side)

[dboreham]

Citizen 1?

[SonOfKyuss]

The ones that still assume big brother will be spying on and killing the people they hate. Trump openly campaigned on getting revenge on his enemies. I can only assume his supporters want this. The danger of course is if/when the leopards eat their faces

[ted_dunning]

No. There was only one red line.

Bend over and take or not.

[Gigachad]

I guess the problem for Trump is if he orders the army to gun down protesters, there’s a good chance they will refuse to do it. While a bot can just be prompted to go ahead.

[RGamma]

Crazy to think how Deus Ex: Human revolution might have gotten the timeline right. Except there's no human augmentation and there won't be citizen fighting four-legged robot police in 2027 Detroit with molotov cocktails: they'll only hear a disconcerting buzz coming at them with ludicrous speed before eternal darkness.

This one here is the future I am most scared of.
