In the OP as quoted, I see allegations from an article that agencies monitored social media and evaluated it for truth. I also see whell claiming that "Big Brother" is " ....replacing it [news and commentary] with the DHS's hand-curated narratives."
Now the first is called 'gathering intelligence from public sources' and is utterly legal. For the second, I don't see a scrap of evidence quoted. Someone may be mistaking fantasy for fact. That's if they aren't cynically going way beyond the evidence, for effect.
