Federal agents knocked on her door over a social media post about ICE

Original version ·

Imagine posting something online, forgetting about it, and then months later having actual federal agents show up at your house telling you to delete it. Welcome to the modern internet, courtesy of the government.

Back in January, a woman named Paigelynne Gonyea posted about an immigration surge in Minneapolis. Just a regular internet post. Nothing crazy.

Fast forward five months. She's probably forgotten all about it. Suddenly, two agents from the DHS roll up to her house. They weren't there to chat; they straight-up told her to take the post down, claiming she "doxxed" a federal agent.

Let's be real here: if the government is sending real-life agents to your front porch over a months-old post, either their monitoring system is running on a massive delay, or they've got way too much free time.

It turns out the delete button on social media now comes with a physical home delivery service.
