THREAD. So this is big news -- and potentially bad news for the Russian election interference "deniers."https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/909028347149275137 …

Yeah, that's what puzzled me initially re a warrant. Tho FB may argue that ability to tailor ads so specifically reveal personal preferences
-
that put it on the "content" side of the line. Their reluctance to share same info w Cong suggests that they are going to w narrow def'n
-
The congressional sharing happened with no process. My take on these stories is it's pressure on Burr to subpoena more.
-
Do you mean media pressure? I'm pretty sure Mueller himself doesn't give a damn about H/S committees except that they don't get in his way.
-
I'm thinking it's abt pressure w/in SSCI on Burr to obtain more using a subpoena, esp given mention of Warner.

And, as I point out, there's another alternative: Section 702. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/09/16/facebook-doesnt-need-a-probable-cause-search-warrant-to-turn-over-ad-data-to-robert-mueller/ …

The 702 angle is interesting and I'm sure play a role somewhere. But I'm not sure that it would cover Messenger info or content *w/in* FB's
-
internal platform (? honestly not sure, but this was surprise me). Also I'm not sure it could reach the ad/buyer info Mueller specifically
-
seeking. BUT consider that Mueller has separate intel from separate 702 collection, allies, FISAs, whatever...getting records straight
-
from FB could help corroborate that intel, and/or provide evidence they'd be more willing to disclose in a criminal proceeding.
-
But nice article. Valid critiques based on what we know so far.
-
Yeah, my biggest issue is, like you, I think it sounds like 2703d and neither article quotes anyone saying warrant.
-
Fair enough. But I know cyber agents who do hacking/intrusion. They tell me that even in cases where tech companies *themselves* report
