Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Horseshit. I don't know what part of "due process" people don't understand. If the government is limiting your right to movement, they need to prove why when questioned. No exceptions. Especially so if the individual(s) in question have not been charged with any crime.
You must have forgotten about the Patriot Act. "Terrorists" don't get rights, and we don't have to tell you why we think you're a terrorist. (And that's super fucked up and unconstitutional)
A terrorist is whoever says something that the current administration doesn’t agree with. And the internet makes it very, very easy to “find” terrorists
Oh yeah, and they've got to be brown too. When white people do that they're patriots or lone wolfs.
Cop City is trying to change that.
Most of the Patriot Act has sunset at this point. Doesn't really exist anymore.
Agreed. Public safety is making everyone aware and allowing them to make informed decisions. Public safety is not hiding information hoping the problem solves itself.
While I agree that this should be handled with due process, I disagree with your conclusion that this is infringing on someone's right of movement (outside of international flights.)
It would affect your access to a mode of transportation, but not the transportation itself. Something that we already have restrictions on outside of air travel, such as drivers licenses.
Regardless, it's still a fucked up authoritarian list and process.
What if you have sea sickness?
Name country that requires driver's licence to be passanger.
