The US District Court in DC struck down an appeal of a man found guilty of crimes he committed during the January 6th who claimed the FBI illegally used video taken from Facebook, claiming his social media posts and information should be covered by the Fourth Amendment’s implied right to privacy.
According to the decision, the FBI obtained personal information from Facebook for accounts that livestreamed or posted video of from inside the Capitol during the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack.
Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that the defendant didn’t have an inherent right to privacy to protect his identity from an FBI request for information to Facebook that would void the social media search warrant obtained by the investigating agents, meaning all the MAGAts who posted videos of themselves trashing the Capitol should assume the FBI has their posts.
