This is a power grab by the USPS to inject themselves into the industrial surveillance complex.

It most likely tries to tie a social media profile to a physical address and provides a pen register of all the mail sent and received by that citizen along with a collection of the "inflammatory opinions".

It is unconstitutional and folks at the USPS and organizations they shared the data with should go to jail.

Haven't they been de-facto participating for decades?

They were the earliest, really, searching mail first to find information about birth control being shared and pornography (Comstock Act, 1873), then sedition. I assume that all of the first precedents for mass surveillance and data collection come from the USPS.
