If what you say is true, it is something I have thought long ago.
I would imagine that information processing based on key words can be automatized to be pretty effective. However, there are ways to overcome that.
Only stupid and reckless people get caught - but then again, if it is for monitoring citizien's web conversations, blogs and such to get the picture
where are they regarding the
levels of Consciousness and awerness in general, it can
be effective.
But real crooks would encrypt their information effectively.
But you could've just build (programmed) an application that views websites and show those fancy buttons ('deemed safe' etc.) at the top of the web
browser then shot a video as shown below and claim to be working for some clandestine agency, just to cause a fuss!
I wouldn't start screaming CONSPIRACY yet. Can you provide any further information?
