FIRST ON FOX: ‘No Kings’ protest network behind fight against AI data centers and Flock cameras

FIRST ON FOX : The same hard-left network behind "No Kings" and other protests is leading the battle against data centers and Flock surveillance cameras, according to a Fox News Digital investigation and a new report.

In growing protests from San Francisco to North Carolina, organizations and activists associated with the same ecosystem that rallied against President Donald Trump, Israel, Elon Musk, Tesla and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the last two years are now taking on data-center construction and license-plate readers.

The overlap includes organizations funded by pro-China, Shanghai-based tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, whose sprawling nonprofit and media network has faced Congressional and federal scrutiny over its funding and foreign ties.

Singham and the nonprofits he has funded have denied taking orders from any government or political party and haven’t been charged with any crimes.

INSIDE THE FAR-LEFT'S ANTI-DATA CENTER PUSH AND WHAT EXPERTS SAY IS DRIVING IT: 'PLAYBOOK WE'VE SEEN BEFORE' The findings are detailed in a new report , "The Compute War at Home," commissioned by Consumer Action for a Strong Economy, an Alexandria, Va., free-markets nonprofit that used social-media analysis by Arken Intelligence, a technology firm based in Washington, D.C., for parts of its study.

"The money, media, organizing capacity and campaign objectives converge in the same ecosystem," the report says.

Based on reporting over the past several years from street protests, Fox News Digital has identified the protest movement’s evolution across three phases.

The new report chronicles a repeatable political model, in which activists first identify a local grievance, then connect it to a larger ideological narrative and package the argument through national media and activist infrastructure and carry it into new communities.

The first phase appeared in early January 2025 with Trump’s inauguration and the launch of "Tesla Takedown" demonstrations to protest Tesla founder Musk as he led efforts to cut waste in federal spending.

It became the mobilization infrastructure built around "No Kings" and "Hands Off" anti-Trump protests, anti-Israel activism and related campaigns, supporting the Communist Party of Cuba, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Venezuelan communist strongman Nicholas Maduro.

Organizations from the Singham network – including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, CodePink, the People’s Forum, ANSWER Coalition and affiliated groups – appeared repeatedly across those movements, working with nonprofits more aligned with the Democratic Party, including Indivisible, a nonprofit network funded in part by billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros.
