DHS didn't say you *couldn't* speak out about about the US or DHS - they are just looking for people that do. So they can attempt to... I don't know... protect civilians from people that don't like the US or it's self loathing people? I'd be more concerned if DHS was not doing this. All they are doing is reading what people are voluntarily making publicly available - they are not violating anyone's privacy or in any way impinging on civil liberties by monitoring social media. I appreciate that my government is watching my back and am frankly surprised that this is not a more common opinion.
