FYI, Facebook is now effectively a part of the US government. A judge has just ruled that State prosecutors will be allowed to search the Facebook records of two people in connection with the #J20 protests, despite those two people not being charged with any crimes. They're also prohibited from appealing the ruling, meaning that your 4th amendment rights do not apply anymore.

  A Judge Just Ruled The Government Can Access Facebook Accounts In Inauguration Rioting Case
  
  from BuzzFeed
  
  The ACLU proposed having an outside, neutral party search the Facebook accounts, as opposed to law enforcement officials. The judge said the government can do the search.

  @knightly it sounds like they're going on a fishing expedition to try to find any information which could be used to get a conviction. It's also a reminder that if you are organizing an event which the government might not like then FB might not be the best place to do it.
