Check out this statement from the Request for Quote (RFQ) “section 2. Scope”:
“The contractor shall properly transfer the captured information, as identified by the EOP (Executive Office of the President), to NARA’s (National Archives and Records Administration) Electronic Records Archive and presentation at the the future Presidential Library.”
And a scarier statment from Section 4. Background:
“Currently, the Government team is capturing the data and content both programmatically (via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) from social networks and manually (through daily screen shots). “
This is a huge data collection effort.
Oh, and Obama is planning his Presidential Library already.
So my question is, have they always collected data on people who write to the WH in any other form?
