US Postal Service running secret program that tracks people’s social media and flags government agencies: Report
(Worthy News) – The United States Postal Service is apparently tracking social media posts as part of a clandestine program searching for “inflammatory” messages.
The program, known as the Internet Covert Operations Program, or iCOP, has not previously been made public and involves analysts combing through social media sites looking for “inflammatory” postings and then sharing those posts with government agencies, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.
ICOP specifically tracks protests across the country. A March 16 government bulletin obtained by Yahoo, marked as “law enforcement sensitive,” showed that “analysts with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
