The FBI is looking for contracts for a social media surveillance tool that would alert them to suspicious online behavior. The tool would monitor keywords and gather data about social media users such as IDs, emails, IP addresses, phone numbers and location history. The agency claims it would not violate civil liberties and user privacy. The pervasiveness of any such tool is open to question, considering US President Donald Trump has expressed interest in using social platforms to monitor immigrants as well as people on disability benefits? The agency says the tool would enable the Bureau to detect, disrupt, and investigate an ever growing range of threats to U.S. National interests.”]
