Purge at the Pentagon: Outrage as Defense Secretary's woke race adviser plans trawl of military personnel's social media for 'extremist and concerning behavior' - using private company to circumvent the First Amendment
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The Pentagon is planning to 'continuously' trawl the social media accounts of military personnel for extremist behavior and views under a pilot program
- Details of the program haven't been made public but emerged from sources and internal documents obtained by The Intercept
- The program is being spearheaded by Bishop Garrison, a senior advisor to President Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
- Garrison has previously said Trump and his supporters are racist and is an advocate for Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project
- Officials say it'll use the services of a private surveillance company to try and circumvent or avoid any criticism regarding First Amendment protections
- Babel Street, a company that sells social media monitoring software, is the front runner to carry out the surveillance
- The program will likely use keyword searches on social media to identify military personnel with extremist political views or behaviors
- Furious critics have been quick to slam news of the potential program, saying the keyword search strategy is flawed because it is an invasion of privacy
- They also argue it will return 'false positives' and undermine morale if military personnel are constantly second guessing what they post on social media
