The USPS is spying on your social media posts

[Grouse]

Why is a government agency, that is losing billions, spending money to do this?

USPS is running a "covert operations program" that monitors Americans' social media posts (Yahoo! News)

"The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what [a] document describes as 'inflammatory' postings and then sharing that information across government agencies. ... Civil liberties experts expressed alarm at the post office's surveillance program. 'It's a mystery,' said University of Chicago law professor Geoffrey Stone, whom President Barack Obama appointed to review the National Security Agency's bulk data collection in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks. 'I don't understand why the government would go to the Postal Service for examining the internet for security issues.'"

Incremental encroachment, which has been responsible for more restrictions on freedom and liberty than anything else.

"When the Russian collusion hoax was unfolding during the Trump administration, Americans learned (or were reminded) the federal government has 17 separate intel agencies, all operating in secrecy. Are we now up to 18 — courtesy of an agency that can’t even deliver mail on a [timely basis](https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/1-month-of-shipping-delays-usps-asks-for-patience-as-christmas-mail-products-arrive-late), and that has run multi-year operating deficits to the point where it has accumulated $160 billion of debt?

“I just don’t think the Postal Service has the degree of sophistication that you would want if you were dealing with national security issues of this sort,” professor Stone added. “That part is puzzling. There are so many other federal agencies that could do this, I don’t understand why the post office would be doing it.”

The answer is as simple as it is infuriating: Because it can. And because a feckless Congress that hides behind barbed wire and National Guard troops in Washington, DC, allows it to happen."
