The Biden administration is considering using outside firms to track extremist chatter by Americans online, an effort that would expand the government's ability to gather intelligence but could draw criticism over surveillance of US citizens.
The Department of Homeland Security is limited in how it can monitor citizens online without justification and is banned from activities like assuming false identities to gain access to private messaging apps used by extremist groups such as the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers.
Instead, federal authorities can only browse through unprotected information on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook and other open online platforms.
The plan being discussed inside DHS, according to multiple sources, would, in effect, allow the department to circumvent those limits. A source familiar with the effort said it is not about decrypting data but rather using outside entities who can legally access these private groups to gather large amounts of information that could help DHS identify key narratives as they emerge.

I hear Christopher Steele is ready and willing. Of course he won’t do any actual spying, he will just provide “dossiers” on those who don’t fully support the regime.
Or big social media will surely step and do their patriotic duty for Chairman Xi, err, Biden.
Neither the Proud Boys nor the Oath Keepers are “extremist groups,” you liars at the Communist News Network.
If you want to investigate extremist groups, investigate Burn, Loot, Murder and Antifart.
Well, ... don't chatter.
Gitmo...
It is ALL fast-track communism and Naziism.
The CIA and FBI don’t follow laws. The CIA and the FBI are the KGB, Stasi, etc.
The CIA is the source of all supposed “news” (all fake, half truths, major facts ommissions, etc.)
They have us all disjointed in various ways so us patriots/freedom fighters have no way to inhibit nor stop them. That is all part of their entirely EVIL orchestrated plans to take down America.
Yes, and if we let it happen we are complicit in destroying our children's future.
They are both: Nazi Germany and the U.S.S.R., etc.
Not a new government. The Bill of Rights (FIRST) and the Constitution need to be followed as our founders wrote.
On the other hand, the right to an abortion (not in an amendment to the Constitution) is absolute.
Please thank Uncle Joe's handlers.
I’m pretty sure the government is banned from paying for/contracting private companies to do something the government is banned from doing in the first place.
Ueah, FreeRepublic will be one of the first stops. It has two forbidden words as its name.
Coming soon to your HOA
The China model.
“I’m pretty sure the government is banned from paying for/contracting private companies to do something the government is banned from doing in the first place.”
Unless you’re being sarcastic, kindly remember offshore rendition and PMCs.
Welcome to Biden’s Banana Republic!
The Dems are following Vladimir Putin’s playbook on suppressing dissent.
The same thing they are doing with UFO/USO/ATTIP Programs.
Hire Private Contractors to circumvent the FOIA Laws. Private Entities are not subjected to any FOIA Rules/Laws.
Private Contractors give Americans the GIANT MIDDLE FINGER !!! (as does the goobermutt)
And they both overcharge each other and the AMERICAN PEOPLE get F’ED TWICE...
