NSA sets sights on social-network websites

Feds funding research into mass harvesting of information people post about themselves

If the prospect of being asked to explain some embarrassing detail about their personal lives by a prospective employer or a future romantic interest isn't enough to deter users of social-networking websites like MySpace.com from posting it online, perhaps this will – the National Security Agency is funding research into mass harvesting what people post about themselves on the Internet.

They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.

1.  Anyone who blabs his personal info on the WWW, voluntarily, has already signed off any privacy rights.
2.  Even the NSA couldn't screen that much information, but even if they could and find anything useful, that's what we have them for!
