Just another reason that I'm glad I've never had a Facebook or Twitter account, and never will. This artical is also another good example of how our Gov has once again trampled over constitutional rights all in the name of national security.. What a load. http://www.bgr.com/2012/05/29/homeland-security-online-words-red-flag/ Social networks like Twitter and Facebook are among the thousands of sites monitored for suspicious activity by the Department of Homeland Security, and the government agency was recently forced to tip its hand. As part of a freedom of information request made by watchdog group Electronic Privacy Information Center, DOHS recently published a list of hundreds of words and terms it watches for on social media sites. Some are obvious, such as Al Qaeda, terrorism and domestic nuclear detection, while others are potentially a bit more innocent such as Mexico, social media and burst. Innocent or not, the wrong combination of the terms published in this list could result in a user’s online activity being monitored by DOHS — and if they don’t like what they see, users could end up being watched more closely. A spokesperson for the government agency called the list a starting point used to maintain situational awareness of natural and man-made threats, rather than an endgame. [Via Daily Mail] Read
...and now that you posted a few of their "Watch words," you are on their radar and they are going to be watching you...
Anything I post on facebook I would say to the governments fucking face. I am not hiding because they figured out how to use keywords.
There's nothing of me online I wouldn't show my mother....and I value her opinion far more than that of the feds.
