They Signed You Up Without Asking: What the Automatic Draft Registration Means for Every Young American

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. In 2025, Congress quietly changed the rules. Now, every young American is automatically registered for Selective Service the moment federal databases log their existence — no form, no opt-in, no ceremony. It just happens. Julius and Hale dig into what automated government data aggregation really means: who controls the infrastructure, what it says about the systems being built around us, and why this moment is less about the draft and more about the architecture of automated civic decision-making. Your Move: Understand what data systems already know about you. Ask what other automated enrollments are happening without your active consent. And consider what it means to live in a world where the government's AI infrastructure is increasingly making decisions before you ever weigh in. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.com Send us Fan Mail Support the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
