The Secret Service is purchasing software to watch users of social networks in real time, according to contract documents.

In a work order posted on Monday, the agency details information the tool will collect -- ranging from emotions of Internet users to old Twitter messages.

Its capabilities will include “sentiment analysis,”

Zactly.
They see Americans as more of a threat than people wanting us dead.

Well I’ll be on the chitlist for sure. :-)

That policy is not insignificant if in fact they are working on perfecting their litotes detection algorithm.

Does a double /sarc mean the 1st one was insincere?

:>)

“...I’m gonna have to switch from sarcasm to innuendo! :O...”

I’m skipping “innuendo” and going straight for Ridicule!!!!

[blueunicorn6]

I, for one, will be glad to see the government keep track of all those people who write sarcastic things about the Democrats.

hopefully ridicule will not require a ridicule tag

[MeshugeMikey]

theyre not bright enough to make any constructive use of their collected data /R *

*the New Ridicule Tag

“Officer, I swear I wasn’t being sarcastic or was I?”

[MeshugeMikey]

thats for US to know and them to puzzle over for the next decade!!

[mountn man]

If I didn’t have sarcasm, I’d have nothing to say.

We probably need a sarcasm signs to hold up for the self-proclaimed “brightest and best” liberal idiots out there. These people are really the most humorless, colorless, miserable, dumbest people around despite all their caterwauling to the contrary.

“...hopefully ridicule will not require a ridicule tag...”

I can also go straight to “Hey! GFY!” in about two point three seconds, if they like.

Getting sick of this nazi bullshiesse.

[Georgia Girl 2]

[MeshugeMikey]

[MeshugeMikey]

My Sentiment Detection algorithm just isnt up to this task.

[Responsibility2nd]

The Secret Service will have to hire new agents. 3 or 4 at least. Just to monitor my FR posts alone.

Oh, I’m soooo glad they’re doing this.
