On Facebook. Fox News
One law enforcement official told Fox News the FBI is "aware that there were some missing [Somali] community members on Facebook," but the official declined to discuss whether any "investigative activity has or hasn't been carried out." The official also declined to specify how many of the missing men were found to be on Facebook.[...]
Both Schnitt and the law enforcement official said legal issues and First Amendment rights limit the FBI's ability to use Facebook as an investigative tool. In order to acquire information from Facebook, authorities need to obtain a court order, a search warrant or a subpoena, which Schnitt called "a pretty low bar."[...]
When asked if any court orders or warrants had been issued in the case of the missing Minneapolis men, the official declined to comment. Schnitt similarly declined to say whether the FBI had contacted Facebook in the course of its investigation.
