Facebook Caught Spying on Private Messages, Reporting Users Who Question Election Results to FBI
Social media giant Facebook has been caught spying on the private messages of its users and reporting people who question the results of the 2020 presidential election to the FBI.
Several whistleblowers from within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have reportedly revealed that the Big Tech company has been sharing Americans’ private data with federal authorities.
According to the DOJ sources, Facebook has been spying on the private messages of American users and forwarding their data to the feds if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments, or question the 2020 election.
Operatives at Facebook have been spying on users for the past 19 months and transmitting their private information and personal data to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.
Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages and sent the information directly to federal agents, without the users’ knowledge or consent.
“It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause,” alleged one of the sources, who spoke to The New York Post on condition of anonymity.
“Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.”
These private messages then have been farmed out as “leads” to FBI field offices around the country, which subsequently requested subpoenas from the partner US Attorney’s Office in their district to officially obtain the private conversations that Facebook already had shown them.

Mark Zuckerberg Says White House Was 'Wrong' to Pressure Facebook on Covid
Weak sauce. Too little and too late.
Confession of guilt is not exoneration. At best, undue influences are extenuating circumstance. Still requires punishment.
He has to act unaware in order to avoid a perjury charge
i'd like to believe that zuck took a moral stand here, but i doubt it.
i think it was:
1. unwillingness to lie to congress now that the power structure is less certain
2. the realization that the game has changed, @X is thriving by being open, and everyone else is losing trust for carrying water for censors.
zuckerbot 2000 also has access to, in unvarnished, unfiltered form, one of the biggest human sentiment weathervanes in the history of history. one might expect that he has a pretty good idea which way the wind is blowing.
and you might stand against that if it served you, but lying to congress to keep doing what's killing your business is not a good play.
meta is in real trouble unless they join the real world again.
be fun if they did. ...
When I asked if he had been afraid in those moments when he heard the gunshots, when he felt the smack, when he saw the blood, he said, “I didn’t think of fear. I didn’t think of it.” In Trump’s understanding, fear is not a feeling but an idea that you may choose to entertain — or not. He moved right along to an idea he preferred to think of. “You know, I got so many nice calls from people I really don’t know. Jeff Bezos called. He said, ‘It is the most incredible thing I’ve ever watched.’ And he appreciated what I did, in the sense of getting up and letting people know,” he said. “I said, ‘Despite the fact that you own the Washington Post, I appreciate it.’ He couldn’t have been nicer. Mark Zuckerberg called up and said, ‘I’ve never supported a Republican before, but there’s no way I can vote for a Democrat in this election.’ He’s a guy that, his parents, everybody was always Democrat. He said, ‘I will never vote for the people running against you after watching what you did.’ So I mean, people really appreciated it. I don’t — I think it was very natural what I did. I think it was natural.” (Amazon did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson at Meta said, “As Mark has said publicly, he’s not endorsing anybody in this race and has not communicated to anybody how he intends to vote.”)
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta reportedly banned RT from its social media platforms under orders from the Biden-Harris administration.
On Tuesday, Meta announced it has banned RT from all of its platforms on a global level.
The move comes in response to a Biden-Harris admin directive urging entities and nations abroad to ban all activities by Russian state broadcaster RT and other Moscow-funded networks.
The lies just keep on coming.
