In the "you can't make this s*** up fast enough" vein, there is now this report...
This sort of collusion between the administrative state and business is the definition of fascism. It is also the tool of communists since the dawn of that wretched ideology. Something smells very foul, I think it may be the death of liberty and free speech.
Edward Snowden called out these practices as parallel construction. Obtain information by unlawful means, then use it to request lawful authority to go snooping around searching for actual reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Very much as was done with President Trump and the lies to the FISA court.
The activities described above, contrary to the article, are the subversion of our Constitution and laws.
Wow, just wow.
I will bet the KGB and Stasi are proud. If the FBI spent half as much effort going after the International criminal enterprises flooding their workers into our Nation through the southern border, we might be able to at least hold the cartels to the gains they have already made. But, no, they are far more concerned about identifying anyone who still believes elections or the Constitution matter, so they can intimidate them.
"Facebook has been monitoring users' private messages and informing the Justice Department of people who have questioned the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, the New York Post reported.
The social media giant also has alerted the department of users expressing anti-government or anti-authority sentiments during the past 19 months, Post columnist Miranda Devine, citing DOJ sources, said Thursday.
"It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause," a Post source said. "Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.""

The article ends with this tidbit. Hard to even make up this "denial". (categorize as, nothing to see here, move along now...)"...Little more than an hour later in an "unpromoted" follow-up statement, Sackin altered her language to say the claims are "wrong," not "false."
"These claims are just wrong. The suggestion we seek out peoples’ private messages for anti-government language or questions about the validity of past elections and then proactively supply those to the FBI is plainly inaccurate and there is zero evidence to support it," Sackin, who previously worked for Planned Parenthood and "Obama for America," told the Post."
The kicker from the Snowden revelations were, that when a targeted individual identified the use of unlawful sources (such as Tucker Carlson's texts), prosecutions were terminated so as to not be forced to disclose the nature of the parallel construction process.Wow, just wow.
