The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media ?
So they are using the U.S. postal system as an offshoot of espionage on their own citizens. You would think That A.I. could do a better job by now but I guess THE NSA cannot do internal spying under current laws.
serf
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.

Well, I imagine the delivery of the reported findings will be a week late.

If true, it would just be another set of eyes on the stuff posted on the internet. I would imagine that several other gov't agencies will probably be reading this post, so what is one more? We praise the government when a terrorist act is thwarted due to their surveillance, but act outraged when we realize we might be observed also. The internet and social media have created as many problems as they have benefits. Bob

If you think the PO is covertly spying on people, you might want to check out what FB, Google, and Twitter are doing. The PO in comparison would be like a spit in the ocean compared to big tech and big tech is much more formidable.

i have been told a lot of minorities are employed at The Post Office and could be more inclined to work on such a program to spy on any conservative whites groups. The Tea party where outed by Obama with The IRS investigations. The Democrats are really worried about white folks right now.

Not sure what you mean by "outed", serf?
To me, at least, when someone is "outed", it indicates that they were trying to hide something, and that "something" was exposed.
The fact is, obama WEAPONIZED the IRS and used it to ASSAULT the TEA party and other conservative organizations because he was trying to silence their opposition to his liberal agenda.
In retrospect, his agenda was pretty conservative in relation to what the democrats have done since January 20th.
The dems are less worried about skin color than they are about conservative ideology.

Obama is just a closet commie and knew to wait for another Democrat to come in and spring the trap with a majority in Congress. Biden and Obama are pen pals,bet on it.
The Tea party was ostracized. pick your verb but it was a way to hold sway over a grass root organization.

USPS sent a text to my Trac Phone that a package being sent to me had been redirected. The ONLY connection the Trac Phone has to me is my land line was used to start/initiate the Trac Phone. How did the Post office get my Trac phone number ?

Of course this is social media, Bruce.
Sometimes anti-social, but it still falls under the umbrella.
