wpsmit Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) If you are thinking about tweeting about clouds, pork, exercise or evenMexico, think again. Doing so may result in a closer look by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In a story appearing earlier today on the U.K’s Daily Mail website, it was reported that the DHS has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor various social networking sites. The list provides a glimpse into what DHS describes as “signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.” The list was posted by the Electronic Privacy Information Center who filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act, before suing to obtain the release of the documents. The documents were part of the department’s 2011 ’Analyst’s Desktop Binder‘ used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify ‘media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities’. The information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The Daily Mail’s article noted the Electronic Privacy Information Center wrote a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence, describing it’s choice of words as ‘broad, vague and ambiguous’. see the list...... http://sagaciousnewsnetwork.com/dept-of-homeland-security-forced-to-release-list-of-keywords-used-to-monitor-social-networking-sites/ Edited September 6, 2013 by wpsmit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattyangel Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 That's ridiculous. Some of those words are used in our everyday conversation. Well this won't go well with the Hispanic immigrants because they are always speaking of their "la familia" Well for sure Adam, your site is monitored.
