Facebook Gives FBI Private Messages of Capitol Hill Protesters

Alana Mastrangelo 21 Jan 2021

Facebook is giving the FBI data on users who took part in the Capitol Hill riot, including their private messages, as many of the events that took place on January 6 appear to have been organized on the social media platform.

A criminal complaint filed on Wednesday against New York resident Christopher M. Kelly reveals that a search warrant was issued on his Facebook account, according to a report by Forbes.

The FBI wanted Kelly’s private messages — as well as his linked IP address, phone number, and Gmail address — after being tipped off about Facebook posts containing images of him allegedly participating in the Capitol Hill riot earlier this month.

“I’ll be with ex-NYPD and some Proud Boys. This will be the most historic event of my life,” said Kelly to another Facebook user who told him to stay safe at the event in Washington, DC, and to watch out for Antifa.

The report added that Kelly’s messages suggest his brother is a retired police officer, and that the two of them had planned to go to the Capitol.

“Tear gas, police, stopped the hearing, they are all headed to the basement,” said Kelly in a private message in a group chat on January 6, later adding, “Fuck these snakes. Out of OUR HOUSE!”

Facebook also provided the FBI with an IP log, which indicated that Kelly had traveled from New York to Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC on January 6.

According to the complaint, Kelly also posted a photo on January 9 that appeared to show him without a shirt on, holding an American flag in front of the Capitol. Kelly told another social media user, “That’s me — my brother took it.”

The report added that an arrest warrant has been issued, but there is no indication that Kelly has been arrested.

Especially for anything that might draw unwanted attention. Zuckerberg can and does see everything.

Especially for anything that might draw unwanted attention. Zuckerberg can and does see everything.

Movie "Social Network" did a nice job of showing how much of despicable low life Zuckerberg can be. Sleaze of highest degree.
Hope his final life story biography is titled "Theft Through Collaboration"
