U.S. Government is monitoring social network use

If you have any doubt that Government is indeed watching your every written word you might find what happened to these two twitter users interesting.

[ca.news.yahoo.com...]

Both stories highlight the fact that, depending on the words they use, some of our tweets are being flagged up and looked at by the authorities, and that if we’re not careful, even innocent throw-away lines might end up being misconstrued, leading to problems we couldn’t have envisaged when we tapped out the tweet.

Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg was right when he said 'the age of privacy is over'.

nobody cares anymore. Most members / webmasters are already numb to all this and have realized it for years. Just wait till Timeline is implemented on all...this is just the beginning.

If they really want to know more about you, they'll track you on your ISP...to see each nudy site you view & whatever else they wanna profile you over.

Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg was right that the age of Privacy is over - but that is really really scary!

I guess I don't understand why anyone would write something on twitter and expect privacy. Should a person expect privacy when they post a message on a public service that they are going to go somewhere and destroy something, serious or not?

Google can probably tell you more about you than you remember. That's the thing I don't like, but I tolerate it, for now, because it make my life easier.
