I am interested in what is meant by "maintains a presence." I have not dug into the document too deeply, but there are some interesting vendor questions at the end:
2. Approximately how many sites are controlled by EOP?
Answer: The 7 networks where the EOP currently maintains a presence are: www.facebook.com/whitehouse www.twitter.com/whitehouse www.myspace.com/whitehouse www.flickr.com/whitehouse www.youtube.com/whitehouse www.vimeo.com/whitehouse www.slideshare.com/whitehouse
6. Will the tool/storage be integrated at EOP or at the vendor's site?
Answer: The government’s preference is the vendor’s site.
7. Does the EOP prefer a hosted solution, or is this system intended to run on their own internal equipment and network?
Answer: The Government requires a hosted solution.
9. The Presidential Records Act does not require the storage or archiving of non-EOP content, as such is there a specific reason as to why the content provided on EOP related websites in the form of comments is included in these archiving procedures?
Answer: The PRA includes in its definition of presidential records content "received"– by PRA components and personnel. Out of an abundance of caution, we are treating comments made by non-PRA personnel on sites on which a PRA component has a presence as presidential records, requiring them to be captured or sampled.
You know if any of us have a profile in these networks share this article. Let everyone know the Control Freak Rats at the White House are watching.
We are slowly being converted to Socialism/Communism. We the people still have the power, and need to expose this.
This is nearly unbelievable.
It would be completely unbelievable if it weren’t for the prior lessons we should get from studying history: the history of Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Russia.
I wonder if they will have access to backend access to data or have to troll the same interface as us peons?
