Protesters against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, North Dakota, believe the local Morton County sheriff’s department is monitoring Facebook “check-ins” at the Indian reservation to get a sense of who’s protesting. And someone’s apparently trying to mess with that monitoring...Keshia Pendigrast, a student and staff member at the Union Theological Seminary in New York, said she had more than 65 friends check in at Standing Rock on Monday morning alone. After investigating further, she decided to add her name. “I think we underestimate how often Facebook is used by law enforcement,” Pendigrast said. “So if my small check-in confuses a sheriff somewhere, I’m happy.”
