America's FBI Wants To Build a Social Media-Monitoring Tool

Friday, it issued a call for contracts for a new social media monitoring tool. According to a request-for-proposals (RFP), it's looking for an "early alerting tool" that would help it monitor terrorist groups, domestic threats, criminal activity and the like.

The tool would provide the FBI with access to the full social media profiles of persons-of-interest. That could include information like user IDs, emails, IP addresses and telephone numbers. The tool would also allow the FBI to track people based on location, enable persistent keyword monitoring and provide access to personal social media history. According to the RFP, "The mission-critical exploitation of social media will enable the Bureau to detect, disrupt, and investigate an ever growing diverse range of threats to U.S. National interests."

But a tool of this nature is likely to raise a few red flags, despite the FBI's call for "ensuring all privacy and civil liberties compliance requirements are met."

I assumed they were doing this already. And still do. But in the off chance the FBI isn't spying on our social media, I don't think they should have that power.

fukk the FBI.......but........racist, bigoted, chomo boomers on Facebook, and dumbfukks that advertise their crimes on Instagram and Twitter should be the primary targets, and if that’s what they were using it for but the reality is, Barr would only give the ok to target the big bad Antifa, BLM, and any other grassroots progressive groups that may pop up to disrupt white supremacy in LE, govt, or in general.

Exactly. Remember when they spent months trying to legally force Apple to help them unlock that shooter dudes phone? When they already had the ability to just pay another company to do it anyway. This is about making stuff usable in court.

They already have the NSA do this on the internet... they have a program that targets you when you post a certain amount of violent keywords and threats and things you search... The FBI is a bunch of dumbasses... govt agencies break the law every damned day in the name of national security and freedom why publicize that you want to do this when you idiots are already are? Anyone remember when those govt agents came to Tariq's house when he mentioned the military training book meritorious manumissions??? We know THEY are watching!!!
