    FBI to "Monitor" Social Media

    PC Magazine January 27, 2012
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for a better way to spy on Facebook and Twitter users. That's pretty much the gist of a new FedBizOpps.gov post from the FBI's Strategic Information and Operations Center (SIOC) soliciting proposals for an app capable of sniffing through online media sites and social networks.


    Yep, the land of the free is really not so free any longer. Do they actually think serious Terrorists are going to compare notes on an open website?

    Hasn't been free for a long time, Bob - you know that... The people and their ambitions are the enemy nowadays.

    Yeah, because GCHQ and the CIA haven't been looking at it for years, have they?

    Some of those homegrown nutters do compare notes on FB and twitter. So why not?

    Wake up and smell the coffee. Like this is new news? Anyone who posts on these 'social media' sites like Facebook, MySpace etc has thrown away even more of their privacy. Bad enough to have a SS #...

    The thread title is a tad misleading "FBI to "Monitor" Social Media" implies they are going to start - but the snippet says they are looking for a better way, which implies they are already doing it - just not as efficiently as they would want.....

    In the US domestically, yes (well, that's assuming the CIA stay within the law <wink>).

    They're fucked.

    https://teakdoor.com/world-news/10202...se-jungle.html (Do US backwaters still use jungle justice?)

    I liked their list of "sensitive" words though:

    The words deemed as being sensitive by the DHS include:

    • Illegal immigrant
    • Outbreak
    • Drill
    • Strain
    • Virus
    • Recovery
    • Deaths
    • Collapse
    • Human to animal
    • Trojan
    But they should add:


    Stupid American Twat
    Seppo
    Fucking jobsworth

    "Art Student"

    Utah residents fear 'Israeli art students' prying into NSA data center

    A local ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City, Utah has caused a stir online with a report suggesting that self-proclaimed Israeli art students, peddling their artwork from door to door, have been asking disturbing questions about plans to build an NSA data center in the area.

    "These salespeople say they're Israeli students," ABC4 reporter Brent Hunsaker explained. "They even produce Israeli passports. They say they're selling their own artwork to raise money to open a gallery. So why would the Israeli art students want to know about the National Security Agency?"

    Whoops!

    Did a mental association with Janet Reno, Bill Clinton's useless Atty General and the gal who's head of the DHS Janet Napolitano. Another real winner...not!

    Facebook and Twitter have always been information gathering sites.
    I never used the stuff. Carrier pigeon, pony express.
    Everything else runs through ECHELON.

    ECHELON is a name used in global media and in popular culture to describe a signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UK–USA Security Agreement (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, known as AUSCANNZUKUS or Five Eyes).[1][2] It has also been described as the only software system which controls the download and dissemination of the intercept of commercial satellite trunk communications.[3]

    EHELON BASES.

    Ground stations

    In 2001 the European Parliamentary (EP) report[5] lists several ground stations as possibly belonging to or participating in the ECHELON network. These include:
    [edit]Likely satellite intercept stations
    The following stations are listed in the EP report (p. 54 ff) as likely to have a role in intercepting transmissions from telecommunications satellites:
    Hong Kong (since closed)
    Australian Defence Satellite Communications Station (Geraldton, Western Australia)
    Menwith Hill (Yorkshire, UK) Map (reportedly the largest Echelon facility)[18]
    Misawa Air Base (Japan)
    GCHQ Bude, formerly known as GCHQ CSO Morwenstow, (Cornwall, UK) Map
    Pine Gap (Northern Territory, Australia - close to Alice Springs) Map
    Sugar Grove (West Virginia, US) Map
    Yakima Training Center (Washington, US) Map
    GCSB Waihopai (New Zealand)
    GCSB Tangimoana (New Zealand)
    CFS Leitrim (Ontario, Canada)


    [edit]Other potentially related stations
    The following stations are listed in the EP report (p. 57 ff) as ones whose roles "cannot be clearly established":

    Ayios Nikolaos (Cyprus - UK)
    Bad Aibling Station (Bad Aibling, Germany - US)
    - relocated to Griesheim in 2004[19]
    Buckley Air Force Base (Aurora, Colorado, US)
    Fort Gordon (Georgia, US)
    Gander (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada)
    Guam (Pacific Ocean, US)
    Kunia (Hawaii, US)
    Lackland Air Force Base, Medina Annex (San Antonio, Texas, US)
    [edit]

    Well buggered again. Seems an honest guy just can't escape prying eyes. What will they think of next? Tracking pills in you're cereal?

    There's got to be so much worthless information storage on those master blasters computers that one would think just how much value does all this techno info gathering have?

    I for one am a privacy anal retentive geek. They can have it all if they don't already have it. Lets flood those info gathering centers with lots of "True stories," to clog up the machine! I say riot against the machine!!!NOW!

    The Kardashians must have a dedicated server on this resource ENT? FFS, its crap and we all know its crap. Let the kids have their toys and we can now go back to our lives.
