> According to Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harringon, officials there have been using what they describe, without going into much detail, as contact-tracing in order to build out a picture of protestor affiliations — a process that officials in the state say has led them to conclude that much of the protest activity there is being fueled by people from outside coming in. This article has zero information on what they are doing. This could just be routine investigative work, it could involve private contractors scouring social media, it could be the FBI + NSA + Fusion Centers collating phone data. Who knows. This author definitely doesn't. AG Barr claimed the "outside agitators" are "far leftist" groups like "AntiFa" (and lots of conservative social media is conspiracy theory talking of Soros-funded groups hiring and bussing in crisis actors. Lots of public social media posts speculating that White Nationalist groups are executing an anti-government agenda to spark a race war (a la The Turner Diaries). Simply not enough signal yet in the "fog of war" and this article doesn't reveal anything useful.
