Mall of Injustice? Mall of America Takes Tracking to Whole New Level
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Mall of America has hundreds of retail shops, eateries, and attractions featuring Barbie, Lego and Star Trek. A little less obvious was the fake Facebook page the Bloomington, Minnesota bastion of commerce and tourism allegedly was using to monitor protesters.
The Intercept has the story:
Documents obtained by The Intercept indicate that security staff at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota used a fake Facebook account to monitor local Black Lives Matter organizers, befriend them, and obtain their personal information and photographs without their knowledge. Evidence of the fake Facebook account was found in a cache of files provided by the Mall of America to Bloomington officials after a large Black Lives Matter event at the mall on December 20 protesting police brutality.
