I work in the IT field and was doing some SEO work this morning - ran across this article on one of the tech blogs. It's concerning the Obama WH collecting data from sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and other Social networking sites.

I don't post that much, but I always keep an eye out in the tech area - when I find something - I post it here. Of course, this article will not surprise many. Article URL: http://nlpc.org/print/2508

If they have the potential to do so you can bet yer sweet @$$ they ARE doing it!

The RFQ says in the introduction that they already ARE doing it. They freely admit taking screen caps manually is very labor intensive and doesn’t scale, so they need to automate the collection of information.

FR is my biggest expossure, followed by several gun forums. I don’t have a MySpace, Twitter or Facebook account. I’d bet however, BHO has a full crew wotking on FR mining.

"I’d bet however, BHO has a full crew wotking on FR mining.

FR us primarily a discussion forum of news harvested from other sites...with comments and opinions of everyday citizens.

I think a lot of these stories are intimidation "rumors" floated by commiebama supporters to try and shut us up.

He is still struttin' back and forth from his helicopter, but his world is caving in on him. FR posters are not the ones with communist ties, we're not paying 30+ 'CZARS' with taxpayer money to screw the taxpayers...HE IS.

Running scared is what he wants us to be, but dammit, we're the Americans, he's not...and these colors don't run.

The Chicago intimidate and protection racket is not going to work on a national level, at all. He's taking our money, our jobs,and our nation...and when it's all gone, and we have nothing left to lose, all hell is going to break loose. A cornered man, is a dangerous man.

When his ship starts sinking...and it's already leaking badly and listing to the left...his "czars" and other suckbutts are going to flee like the rats they are. I'm wondering just how many congresspeople will ask hussein to campaign with them next year.

They try to make out like the town hall protests are not valid or important, but they are very worried about what took place this August...very worried. A house divided cannot stand, and the obama house is crumbling...that's why he hides at camp david.

Amen!
That is one fine post!

[Incorrigible]

So perhaps all those “Do you support President Obama” quizzes on Facebook are designed to flush out us haters!

LOL! I better start answering them correctly!

Where’s the ACLU?

Information harvesting from social network sites is vastly intrusive and quite frankly, threatening.

[thinking]

This is the reason, I no longer use the networking sites....months ago I smelled something, wasn’t just the way it appeared, too much linking of unknown folks.....that told me, that someone was busy scanning ALL members of the site(s).....especially that Twitter site, they were asking for my contact list...hey just a minute!!!

Yes it is.....

.....I can't think of ONE legitimate reason why the President needs information on individuals, private citizens.

He is collecting the information either as a veiled threat to cause people to quit criticizing him, for future campaign use, or for personal gain. All of which are an illegal use of taxpayer funds

[Shady]

The similarity to defunct rulers is staggering.

I might add that Obama is on a mission to have ALL CITIZENS FEEL his presence.

No other President has made such an attempt for everyone to feel their presence.

Obama acts like a stalker.

[Steamburg]

They do so well with their other projects. I would imaging getting this out is disinformation for the hopeful chilling effect it may have on posters. Every administration has it’s internal spy team. BTW, which Czar is assigned to the disinformation bureau?

Hey! I am proud to be a “non-EOP person” as detailed on Page 2, Paragraph 2 (Scope) of the “Solicitation Number WHO-S-09-0003 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ)”.
