They use commercial software to scan all the websites. Its pretty impressive stuff. I’ve used it. Its not a secret. Maybe I should do a write-up about it in a more scholarly post. They spend millions per year on licenses and a slew of servers and control consoles to spy on Twitter, Facebook, and whatever else they desire. Due to the nature of HTML, AJAX, Flash, and other technologies that make up most of the websites out there, there is not much of a way around it unless access to the website is highly secure in the first place, such as making FR require a secure connection and strong password before even allowing viewing of any messages. But that would bring down pressure from the man for sure. Basically, if you are on FR, you can consider yourself on file somewhere, but likely not a person of interest or even known to any agent; just an archived name in a file somewhere to be checked on some time in the future should the need arise.

OK, Lefty Lie. My tin foil detector is making me think that YOU are a spy.

Come clean. NAS?

Are you spying on the Japanese or what?

Gee, I hope they have a file on my postings. They might learn a thing or two they didn't know about who and what we have in the White House.

Can you name a few of these commercial software suites that allow for this monitoring?

You're right - but just think - for a moment - what this technology could do if the country went totalitarian.

You can screw with them if you know how to do it. Messing up their keyword searches is one way.
