コミュニケーションの権利、インターネットの自由と民主主義を掲げて活動する市民プロバイダーJCA-NETが先の衆議院議員選挙における高市自民党のSNS戦術に根本的な疑問を発する声明を出した。声明は資金力と権力を縦横に駆使して世論を操作するその仕組みを暴くと同時に、そのことが持つ問題点を明らかにする。この問題は始まったばかりで、この先どうのように化けるか、予測もつかない。人はただ操作される対象でしかなくなるディストピアの始まり、という気がしてならない。以下、JCA声明の全文を紹介する。(大野和興)

Tech Companies Shouldn’t Be Bullied Into Doing Surveillance

3 days 5 hours ago

The Secretary of Defense has given an ultimatum to the artificial intelligence company Anthropic in an attempt to bully them into making their technology available to the U.S. military without any restrictions for their use. Anthropic should stick by their principles and refuse to allow their technology to be used in the two ways they have publicly stated they would not support: autonomous weapons systems and surveillance. The Department of Defense has reportedly threatened to label Anthropic a “supply chain risk,” in retribution for not lifting restrictions on how their technology is used. According to WIRED, that label would be, “a scarlet letter usually reserved for companies that do business with countries scrutinized by federal agencies, like China, which means the Pentagon would not do business with firms using Anthropic’s AI in their defense work.”

Anthropic should stick by their principles and refuse to allow their technology to be used in the two ways they have publicly stated they would not support: autonomous weapons systems and surveillance.

In 2025, reportedly Anthropic became the first AI company cleared for use in relation to classified operations and to handle classified information. This current controversy, however, began in January 2026 when, through a partnership with defense contractor Palantir, Anthropic came to suspect their AI had been used during the January 3 attack on Venezuela. In January 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote to reiterate that surveillance against US persons and autonomous weapons systems were two “bright red lines” not to be crossed, or at least topics that needed to be handled with “extreme care and scrutiny combined with guardrails to prevent abuses.” You can also read Anthropic’s self-proclaimed core views on AI safety here, as well as their LLM, Claude’s, constitution here

Now, the U.S. government is threatening to terminate the government’s contract with the company if it doesn’t switch gears and voluntarily jump right across those lines.  

Companies, especially technology companies, often fail to live up to their public statements and internal policies related to human rights and civil liberties for all sorts of reasons, including profit. Government pressure shouldn’t be one of those reasons. 

Whatever the U.S. government does to threaten Anthropic, the AI company should know that their corporate customers, the public, and the engineers who make their products are expecting them not to cave. They, and all other technology companies, would do best to refuse to become yet another tool of surveillance.

[B] 終末思想株式会社~軍産複合体とメシア的狂信者がいかにしてワシントンのイラン戦争を推進するか~

最新のワシントンによるイランへの武力示威は、予測可能で冷笑的な駆け引きでしかない。それは地域の安定への突発的な懸念から生まれたものではなく、米国支配階級の、イスラエル拡張主義に対する揺るぎない卑屈なまでのコミットメントに由来する。空母打撃群の展開はすべて、ある外国政府の指図を強制するために、アメリカの血と富が永遠に賭けられていることをテヘランに伝達するためのものにほかならない。これは地政学ではない。これは臣従である。
