Wait, first of all they rejected a proposal from Homeland to use such methods as a part of their screening visa applications as harmful to free speech, so how is it OK to use on citizens? Second, they are apparently doing this because the Federal Government can't legally do it without a warrant. How is contracting a private company to do it any more legal? If anything it's an even more problematic invasion of privacy while still violating the 1st amendment.

How is it an "invasion of privacy" if what is being monitored is out in public on social media? They are not breaking into anyone's phone or computer records. They are monitoring what people freely put out into public on social media sites.
