Who knew that this kind of thing fell under Postal Fraud? The Postal Service is running a running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts
Every part of the government will be pressed into controlling your every move.
“This seems a little bizarre,” agreed Rachel Levinson-Waldman, deputy director of the Brennan Center for Justice’s liberty and national security program. “Based on the very minimal information that’s available online, it appears that [iCOP] is meant to root out misuse of the postal system by online actors, which doesn’t seem to encompass what’s going on here. It’s not at all clear why their mandate would include monitoring of social media that’s unrelated to use of the postal system.”
The idea that there are any restrictions on government or .gov bureaucracies is such a 19th Century idea. (Hat tip to Don Surber.)
