Government research to track online networking
Mon, February 26, 2007 - 4:13 AM
The Department of Homeland Security is paying Rutgers $3 million to oversee development of computing methods that could monitor suspicious social networks and opinions found in news stories, Web blogs and other Web information to identify indicators of potential terrorist activity.
"It could be used to identify members of groups who want to form a demonstration or oppose a particular event or government policy."
"Congress has enacted many laws designed to protect personal privacy in the digital environment,"

"Hmmm so terrorists are giving opinions to the Washington Post. Sounds more like a plan to root out all the opposition. "

'the edge of legion'
Love the image.
j'z technologiez, when implemented, will virtually eliminate terrorist activity when unwilling participantz and too much collateral damage are at hand. As it standz now, the gov't is unwilling to prevent the formation of terrorist groupz. j'z technology can both affect and deter the formation of these groupz as well. It meanz the US Gov't is preserving first amendment rightz right up until 'the edge of legion'. Militant factionz are allowed to birth and spread their girth in this democracy. Dare to threaten women and children and both this man and the man will 'be erasin' some planz right quick. Y'hear? ;~) *.love Jess, Joss |

I agree...the paradigm of what "power" has to change...People all people need to start speaking up. The apathy of humanity because of fear is what is literally destroying us.
Three quotes came to mind... John F. Kennedy: "World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor. It only requires that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement." Benjamin Franklin: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security ... deserves neither ..." Cesar Chavez: "Nonviolence is not inaction ... It is not for the timid or weak ... Nonviolence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win." |

on-line tools
There is a program already in use which tracks and compiles connections from online activities in social networks such as these.
Web Fountain - originally a graduate project which was picked up by the intelligence "community." It has been in use for some time now. Those who wish to cover their tracks ought to check out service providers such as www.tor.com Web 2 and 3 are just around the corner. |

correction
Tor has changed to tor.eff.org/Tor (The Onion Router) is a free software implementation of second-generation onion routing — a system enabling its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet. Originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Laboratory, Tor became an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) project in late 2004. The EFF supported Tor financially until November 2005 [1], and continues to provide web hosting for the project. Like all current low latency anonymity networks, Tor is vulnerable to correlation attacks from attackers who can watch both ends of a user's connection. Tor aims to protect its users against traffic analysis attacks. Tor operates an overlay network of onion routers that enables two things: anonymous outgoing connections and anonymous hidden services. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_...y_network) And here's the low down on Webfountain, the next gen search engine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebFountain www.google.com/search please make a note of it ;-) |
