The U.S. Secret Service reveal that the agency may be tracking websites like OnlyFans

The U.S. Secret Service reveal that the agency may be tracking websites like OnlyFans, per NYP.

In addition to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the documents show that the agency was regularly monitoring accounts on OnlyFans and Pinterest, among other platforms. Many of these accounts – whose usernames were redacted – were private or inactive.

The briefings requested that "additional checks be made during all shifts" and alert posts that make direct threats or mention travel.

It is also unclear if this practice has continued under the Biden administration, as these documents were from December 2020.

The briefings request flags on “direct threats, mentions of travel back to the U.S[.], etc.,” and “current whereabouts, threats toward any protectees, or mentions [of] causing violence during a protest.” Because the documents only include the monitoring requests, it is also unclear how the Secret Service began monitoring the accounts or why some were elevated to daily checking—even after they had been deactivated or closed by their respective platforms.
