So Is Running a Covert Social Media Spying Operation the Reason Why the Post Office Is Out of Money?

@Pfuzylogic

Don't know all the details yet.

News just broke about it.

[quote]The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.[/quote]

So the poster service trolls the internet...curiouser and curious we. Too bad they couldn’t control their former bosses’ Twitter account! 😅

@Pfuzylogic

And we wonder why the cost of stamps keep going up.

@beckyromero
The Postmaster General is an idiot. He gets caught in every dirty deed he weasels into.

@beckyromero that this is done doesn’t surprise me or worry me too much. If for example insurgents were planning to arrive at the capital and over thrown democracy I am thinking that should be known. Why to post office is the one doing it is beyond me.

Exactly!

Why not the FBI?

@beckyromero makes no sense. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
