The Obama Administration is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama's promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet.
Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the White House signaled that it would insist on open dealings with Internet users and, in fact, should feel obliged to disclose that it is collecting such information. etc....

Yeah, that and all the spam type messages I sent to that whitehouse site we were supposed to use to report “fishy” info on the healthcare debacle.
I'll be able to tell my grandkids that my wise mumblings are so important that even the WH reads and stores them.
Seriously... doesn't the WH have more important things to do?
