вЂњSo thereвЂ™s really no separation between big tech and the government. вЂњItвЂ™s much more difficult for the government to go out and get a warrant if someone posts something, however, itвЂ™s much easier just to ask these companies to turn over the information and these companies freely comply with that,вЂќ he said.

Merrick Garland said its purpose is вЂњto coordinate and provide a principled path for the federal governmentвЂ™s efforts to counter the heightened domestic terrorism threat using all available tools.вЂќ Last month, the Justice Department unveiled a new вЂњnational strategyвЂќ aimed at fighting domestic terrorism, and A.G.
