Department Of Homeland Security Scanning Twitter and Facebook For "Sensitive Words"
Prophecy News Watch ^ | ? | ??

Posted on 01/01/2012 5:20:16 AM PST by blueyon

The Department of Homeland Security makes fake Twitter and Facebook profiles for the specific purpose of scanning the networks for 'sensitive' words - and tracking people who use them.

Simply using a word or phrase from the DHS's 'watch' list could mean that spies from the government read your posts, investigate your account, and attempt to identify you from it, acccording to an online privacy group.

The words which attract attention range from ones seemingly related to diseases or bioweapons such as 'human to animal' and 'outbreak' to other, more obscure words such as 'drill' and 'strain'.

The DHS outlined plans to scans blogs, Twitter and Facebook for words such as 'illegal immigrant', 'outbreak', 'drill', 'strain', 'virus', 'recovery', 'deaths', 'collapse', 'human to animal' and 'trojan', according to an 'impact asssessment' document filed by the agency.

It’s not just these words alone. Let’s not be ridiculous.

it is clear from the released, puerile list
that the myopia is PLANNED.

With the Ubama Regime “ridiculous” is the SOP. Not in an amusing manner either, I might add.

Must we wait for them to come to our homes, confiscate out computers and imprison us?

I’ll bet “bitter clingers” is in there too. If you haven’t left Facebook yet, please do so. It’s only going to get worse under NDAA.

That is at least at the drawing board stage.

You can bet your last nickle that FR is monitored. In the event of the TSA roundup, we will all be thrown into jail without specific charges other than thought crimes, hate crimes and offenses against the regime.

Sounds like it’s time for another counter-snooping exercise similar to the old “Jam Echelon Day”.

Well on a bright note, at least I will be with like minded people.

This is an interesting post.

At the top of the article there is a link to dailymail.co.uk

If you mouse over that link, the popup says the link goes to www.wnd.com/?pageId=375509#ixzz1gX0Rtj00

If you click on the link it goes to dailymail where the original article is posted.

If you put the wnd link in your browser, it tries to go to wnd but errors out.

Curious.

Maybe it would be easier to list the words that are not being monitored.
