If you used Facebook’s private message board to send messages or memes that poked fun of Joe Biden or questioned the 2020 election, you may be on the FBI’s radar.
The hall monitors of Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire spied on you, then snitched you out to the feds.
The New York Post reports that Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users. The company has been informing the FBI of users that express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments. Sources within the DOJ allege that the company also reported users that questioned the validity of the 2020 election.
Here’s how the spy ring worked. Over the last 19 months, an employee at Facebook red-flagged private messages deemed politically offensive and transmitted them to the domestic terrorism operational unit at the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC. This was all done without a subpoena.
The private messages were shared as “leads.”
The report in the Post included a quote from an anonymous FBI source who said the so-called “leads” were a waste of time, indicating that the posts amounted to “red blooded Americans” venting frustration and disappointment after the 2020 election, often through humorous cartoons about the corrupt nature of politicians, particularly Joe Biden, his family, and members of his administration.
