The Jan 6 commission is using the riots as a pretext to collect and inspect private speech/communications from a huge list of people who had absolutely nothing to do with January 6 [0] but were politically active for Trump or his campaign or just posted memes on Twitter etc.
The massive list of people they're demanding records for is shocking. Privacy doesn't mean anything to the current establishment, if people could just take off their partisan blinders for two seconds they would realize this and we could probably form a plea to congress as unified voice.
Give this CSAM system another few years and they won't even have to subpoena for most of the private communication they're already going after today.
