I know exactly how it is happening.
Just after the inauguration, there was a RFP released by the Obama administration looking to contract a company to aggregate all comments from social networking sites.
Our company decided to be a no-bid.
So all social comments are databased somewhere by someone for some use that cannot be good.
I’ll link your comment in my original post. Thanks. Creepy.
My immediate response several years ago upon first hearing about ‘social networking’ sites was: “Sounds like a government monitored, if not government sponsored, personal information-mining operation to me. I want nothing to do with it.”
It appears my suspicions were 100% correct.
I assume this would take the cooperation of Facebook to allow it to work?
Question:
Could it have anything to do with websites like this?

This Twitter account is mine but I never set up this “who is” page. I think it’s done automatically. Also hashtags can be used to search. I notice that Facebook can also be used in this way.
