If you read toward the end of this, it appears this may only be for the specific White House pages on Facebook and Twitter, NOT the entire site because it speaks of being done on sites created by the EOP....obviously only their specific Facebook page was created by them etc.
Still bad, but not as bad as earlier appeared if this is the case. Looks like they may be doing it for records request archive purposes, but it could still be used for bad purposes, which is scary.
“The contractor shall provide the necessary services to capture, store, extract to approved formats, and transfer content published by EOP on publicly-accessible web sites, along with information posted by non-EOP persons on publicly-accessible web sites where the EOP offices under PRA maintains a presence, throughout the term of the contract. The contractor shall if possible, capture, store, extract to approved formats, and transfer content published by EOP on non-public websites. The contractor shall include in the information posted by non-EOP persons on publicly-accessible web sites where the EOP maintains a presence both comments posted on pages created by EOP and messages sent to EOP accounts on those web sites.”
That was my understanding and why I questioned it. Yes, it is a slippery slope but they can still say that the WH has always maintained these records under the Presidential Act.
