DHS watches web forums, Twitter, social media, page 1

A "privacy compliance review" issued by DHS last November says that since at least June 2010, its national operations center has been operating a "Social Networking/Media Capability" which involves regular monitoring of "publicly available online forums, blogs, public websites and message boards."

That means we are being watched here too.

More amazing the "if you have nothing to hide" people will still be saying "if you have nothing to hide" when they are locked up in fema camps.

But if you had nothing to hide, you wouldn't be afraid of FEMA camps.

Paranoid people don't need to be told they're being watched. They already KNOW, even if they're wrong.

If ever there is validation of that paranoia, by then, it's so totally not news.

A list of some of the things being monitored

I don't understand the furore here?

At the end of the day all the sites listed are public domain and can be accessed or monitored by anyone, If someone is stupid enough to plan an act of terrorism or any other form of detrimental activity on facebook or twitter then they deserve to be monitored..

Also if someone is stupid enough to put personal details on these sites then again they deserve to be monitored and have information collected about them.

The amount of companies / governmental agencies and criminals (band these together as you wish) that will trawl these sites for the above information is countless for the purpose of marketing / national security and criminal activity (again there are grey lines between the three)

You don't want information amassed about you? simple... Don't use the internet...

Better to be a bit paranoid than to be oblivious to potential danger.
