Facebook Was Spying on Personal Messages of Americans Who Questioned the 2020 Election – Turned Them Over to the FBI

 

Facebook joined with Democrats to swing the 2020 election away from President Donald Trump.

Mark Zuckerberg donate nearly half a billion dollars to help Democrats in battleground states and their braindead candidate Joe Biden.

In June 2021 The Gateway Pundit reported on Facebook’s collusion with Democrat politicians to censor and silence President Trump’s Facebook account prior to the 2020 election.

Leaked emails revealed that, during the lead-up to the November election, Biden campaign hacks pressured Facebook to silence his political opponent, the sitting president of the United States.

The radical Democrats had become concerned with so-called “violent rhetoric” and “misinformation” coming from the Trump campaign’s Facebook accounts.  This resulted in a years-long barrage of complaints from the party in an attempt to exert political influence over the world’s largest social media giant.

Democrat-hack operative Timothy Durigan, a Biden bootlicker tasked with flagging conservatives on Facebook had this to say:

Facebook is ground zero for the Big Lie and the Capitol insurrection. Facebook chose to put election misinformation in front of millions of Americans, systematically relaxed its rules for the insurrection’s leader, Donald Trump, and provided an organizing platform for insurrectionists.

In one of the emails, sent by a senior Biden official on September 22nd, he demanded the removal of a Donald Trump Jr. video where he talked about mail-in ballots.

The fact that this video is still on your platform — and is being used to recruit some sort of, and I quote, ‘army for Trump’s election security effort’ — is astounding. It is impossible to reconcile this with any of the policies regarding voting and voter suppression that Facebook has released over the past 3 years and emphasized to us privately in several dozen conversations.

A Facebook official responded and said the video would be allowed to stay up, but after the complaint, Facebook added a bogus ‘fact check.’

This was apparently an unsatisfactory solution for the Biden team. They scolded the social media platform again for the “mental gymnastics” they had to go through to keep the video on their platform. Nothing but a total ban of Trump, which they eventually got, would’ve been enough.

The Biden official wrote:

“The Trump Campaign has received the message that they may put videos on your platform saying that millions of fraudulent votes will be used to steal the election. And the solution to that is for ‘able-bodied people’ to enlist in an ‘army.’ So, their shrieks of fraud compound and their calls to ‘enlist’ multiply. Good gracious, I struggle to believe that is the precedent you are intending to set.”

He concluded:

“We implore you to approach this problem with seriousness and a sense of mission. We have found that to be lacking thus far. If the effort and mental gymnastics undertaken to allow this post to remain on your platform were instead devoted to carrying out your acknowledged responsibility to democracy, we might see some progress.”

This is just another example of the deep state colluding with big tech to push a particular political ideology while punishing dissent. Reports show that the repeated pressure put on by democrats and the Biden campaign resulted in wide-scale suppression of conservatives and infringement of their right to engage in public discussion.

In the days after the election, DNC officials flagged scores of Facebook posts relating to the ‘stolen election.’ They also filed complaints and reported members of Stop the Steal groups, who seem to have made their way onto deep state watch lists. Just a few days later, Facebook removed the Stop the Steal groups that had amassed hundreds of thousands of members.

Now we learn that Facebook was also spying on Americans who questioned the 2020 election.  Facebook even sent their personal text messages to the FBI.

Miranda Devine at The New York Post reported:

Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.

Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.

“It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause,” alleged one of the sources, who spoke on condition of ­anonymity.

“Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.”

These private messages then have been farmed out as “leads” to FBI field offices around the country, which subsequently requested subpoenas from the partner US Attorney’s Office in their district to officially obtain the private conversations that Facebook already had shown them.
