Buffalo_Gal Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 State Department to release memos detailing illegal social media monitoring of Americans Memos to be released under FOIA will show effort to monitor social media of Fox News personalities Hannity, Ingraham and Dobbs, as well as president's son Don. Jr. The State Department has agreed to release memos showing officials in its Kiev embassy illegally monitored 13 Americans' social media accounts during last year's Ukraine scandal, including President Trump's eldest son, Don Jr., and Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs, Just the News has learned. The memos are being turned over to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act, multiple sources confirmed Tuesday. The memos will show that the U.S. embassy in Kiev, under then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, began monitoring the social media accounts of the targets in March 2019 as early stories about the embassy's activities and Joe Biden's son Hunter emerged at The Hill newspaper (written by this reporter) and on Fox News, the sources said. This reporter was one of the 13 individuals on the list targeted, the sources said. </snip> 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word of outrage from Libertarians? Just a conservative but I can tell you it's Constitutional. All monopolies pose a threat to democracy. If one newspaper dominated 80% of the news I would say the same thing. Also, all of these companies already get exemptions from lawsuits as neutral 3rd parties in theory. They've broken that with absolute proof. They should not be immune from lawsuits then. You can't claim "we're private" in one breath and ask for gov't immunity in another.
