The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts



quote:

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.


The government is too big

That’s why they’re so bad at delivering mail. They’re too focused spying on Americans.

I'm somewhat comforted by this. We already knew they were spying on us, but now we know that spying won't be competent as it involves the Post Office.

If they are half as good at this as delivering mail, they will be $2 billion in debt soon and forced to close up shop.

The Biden "administration" isn't defining the postal service by traditional definitions.

I'm not worried because...

1. The post office is too stupid to do that kind of work.

2. Yahoo News has never printed anything remotely true.

So glad I don't have social media. It’s a cancer.

USPS can’t even do their stated job right. Them trying this means that they may get about 50% of it done right at best.

If everyone did that, they would be out of business.

At this point, most of their profit is made off bulk mailings.
