PRIVACY AND THE GOVERNMENT

 

In the film, the government demonstrated that it was able to use geolocation from cell phones and other handheld devices, coupled with security cameras located all over the country to find the members of RIFT (Revolutionary Independence from Technology), a Ted Kaczynski-type anti-technological radical activist group. Once the FBI located RIFT, they solicited their help to build a computer virus that would stop PINN from spreading to the entire world by deleting the source code and also killing AI Will as a side effect.
