The government can scan public social media profiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plan being discussed inside DHS, according to multiple sources, would, in effect, allow the department to circumvent\u201d laws that limit what the federal government can do in surveilling U.S. citizens without a warrant, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/05\/03\/politics\/dhs-partner-private-firms-surveil-suspected-domestic-terrorists\/index.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cA source familiar with the effort said it is not about decrypting data but rather using outside entities who can legally access these private groups to gather large amounts of information that could help DHS identify key narratives as they emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report claimed that the private firms that the Biden administration is considering using would \u201cact as middlemen\u201d to obtain the information, which would consist of \u201cbroad summaries or analysis of narratives that are emerging on these sites\u201d and would not \u201ctarget specific individuals.\u201d However, some of these firms use fake identities to access the private social media spaces that the government can\u2019t access, which could cause potential legal headaches for the administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGathering information on US citizens \u2014 no matter how abhorrent their beliefs \u2014 raises instant constitutional and legal challenges,\u201d the report added. \u201cCivil liberties advocates and privacy hawks have long criticized any efforts to collect even publicly available information on Americans in bulk as a violation of Americans\u2019 First and Fourth Amendment rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report was instantly criticized online by opponents on both sides of the aisle, including former intelligence officials.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Dean Wright, a Democrat and former CIA officer, wrote: \u201cJoe Biden wants to \u2018partner\u2019 with the private sector to conduct surveillance because the Govt can\u2019t do it without a warrant or ongoing investigation.
