Facebook, politics, surveillance, Puerto Rico
A timely reminder not to blindly trust platforms:
- #PuertoRico justice department investigated student demonstration, got overly broad search warrant issued
- #Facebook released data on interactions with student media covering demonstration in that time period
- the individuals involved didn't get notified even after the 90-day gag period, only found out when a lawmaker investigated
