Still Illegal
This looks like an effort to convince us that they aren’t already doing it. They are.
Always been that way.
Whether it was booksellers keeping tabs on what books you’ve purchased or Facebook, Gmail, and other sites snooping your mail and contacts.
People shrug their shoulders when corporations do this to them but scream bloody murder when the government requests some of that information. Think back to the Clinton impeachment and people upset that Monica Lewinsky’s book purchases were being examined. That data shouldn’t exist in the first place.
When are you Republicucks going to bring articles of impeachment? You Aholes!
Why don’t they spy on the groups sending minors here?
On the other hand, maybe they are funding these groups.
If you were wondering how they’d track down gun owners......
It also sets the precedent for the federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to create more false flag operations in order to justify further invasion of US citizens’ civil rights. The Democrats have declare war on our freedoms and have made it clear they are all in.
All that needs to be done is buy the data the social media giants collect. Actually that’s not neceessry, they just need to buy the analysis from the social\search media giants like Google. These companies are far far ahead of the USG in data mining & deep learning.
The truth is you are already being collected against & analyzed commercially in a huge huge way for commecial\marketing reasons.
We are surely being monitored. I estimate about four full-time federal government agents at an average salary of over $100,000 each are assigned to freerepublic ‘duty’.
There is a preview feature here on freerepublic. Use it.
If it’s illegal for the government to snoop directly, it’s illegal for the government to pay someone to snoop. This is elementary and should be clear even to a journalist.
Problem is, the government is already doing it.
They’ve been doing it for years already. AT&T will just hand over anything they ask for. AT&T has lot of licenses given by the fedgov, they don’t want no trouble.
I find them moronic that the Biden administration is even talking about this. And they have a justice department that should have told them they can’t “legally” do this. It violates the law. Without a warrant they can’t “legally” place a person under surveillance with intent to intimidate them.

But the socialists have had problems with warrants many times. And when it is that obvious they are trying to bypass a legal action, one they have tried before and been caught at, then it starts to border if not break down the government legal system intentionally which can constitute treason. How many want to fall on their swords for the party?

Considering?
They’ve already been doing it for a decade at least.
Bejing Biden doesn’t have anything on Putin or China when it comes to being a dictator does he? GOD help America. I read that the name biden in Hebrew means “A judgement”. Just a little food for thought.
So the Government can’t spy on private citizens without a warrant, but can pay other companies for the very same information?
No wonder Big Tech are in bed with the DemocRATs.
How China of the Biden administration.
Just last week it was announced that the Post Office was being used to monitor social media in the hunt for extremists. Let’s face it 0bama initiated spying on the Tea Party, the Trump campaign, numerous reporters, and probably everyone that didn’t vote for him. We shouldn’t be surprised that Biden picks up where 0bama left off.
There is absolutely nothing underway, proposed, or planned that can stop them...
The sniveling American people have only one set of rules;
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
