Is this legal in the US? As far as I know, it is illegal for US government institutions to spy on US citizens unless there is some probable cause.

- foxyv 5y agoThere are loopholes. For instance, if instead of spying on the people you pay someone else to do it and become a "Witness" or to come forward with evidence then it is above board. For instance, if Facebook were to sell your info to the FBI and then they used it against you in a case then it is totally above board. It's kind of like how if you watch your neighbor murder a poodle and you call the cops, they don't need to get a warrant if you want to testify. In this case, the witness was a person agreeing to a reduced sentence in exchange for developing ANOM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANOM_sting_operation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANOM_sting_operation
