Why, oh why would they be doing covert online surveillance when it’s not related to mail fraud?

The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts

The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

“Analysts with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021,” says the March 16 government bulletin, marked as “law enforcement sensitive” and distributed through the Department of Homeland Security’s fusion centers. “Locations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms, to include right-wing leaning Parler and Telegram accounts.”
 
Postal inspectors are very well equipped. The IRS inspectors very well equipped, both brought their decked out snoop vans to our Motorola shop for radio work, the other crap in there was amazing.
 
Great first it was the Phone cops. Now we get Mail/social media cops.
What could be next? Sanitary sewer cops? Oh crap we have that already due to the Vid.

Yeah, already have that. They monitor covid rates by the wastewater in Tempe (seriously, I see the charts daily at work...)

Amazon Studios is making a spy comedy film about the United States Postal Service called The U.S.P.S. The origins of the USPS go all the way back to 1775, when Benjamin Franklin served as its first postmaster general. Since then, the organization's mail carriers have appeared in a variety of pop culture endeavors, including Mr. McFeely on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Reba the Mail Lady on Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and Newman on Seinfeld.

Now, Collider reports that Amazon Studios will package the USPS with the spy comedy genre in the aptly-titled The U.S.P.S. Penned by 2020 Black List screenwriter Perry Janes and starring Coming 2 America's Jermaine Fowler, the film will follow a young man (Fowler) who discovers that his recently killed mailwoman mother was actually a covert operative in America's most unexpected secret agency, the United States Postal Service. Bird Box writer Eric Heisserer and Carmen Lewis of Chronology will produce the film for Amazon Studios along with Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Karen Lunder.
