CIA Monitors Facebook and Twitter.......

Funny how the left supports evesdropping during democrat administrations. "Loose lips sink ships" during WW2 and J. Edgar Hoover's G-Men were everywhere and listening to everything.The left supported it because we were at War. JFK's quirky A.G. authorized the illegal surveillance of MLK and the segregationist democrat party said it was OK. The leader of the anarchist weatherscum, Bill Ayers, had every single charge including felony murder dismissed during a republican administration because a friendly left wing judge said the FBI illegally had him under surveillance. The left had appoplexy when agents in the CIA released documents that Bush was monitoring selected overseas calls without a warrant.Today we are back to supporting surveillance by the federal government because a democrat is in the W.H. Imagine what's going to happen when the full effects of the "health care plan" click in and thousands of IRS agents come knocking.

White hall if something is posted openly and anyone can view it it's not eavesdropping. However if you have posted as private and only view able by selected friends then there may be an issue of invasion of privacy.

I have found several old friends on FB, not by using the find friends feature, but by using Google. I just Google the person's name, hometown, and high school. Try yourself. There is nothing private about social media. True, you may not get that person's wall, but you can find out if they are on FB and send them a friend invite.

True about the friend invite but I think there is some reasonable expectation to privacy when what you post is for friends eyes only.

CIA tracks global mood via social media | The Tennessean | tennessean.com

McLEAN, Va. — In an anonymous industrial park, CIA analysts who jokingly call themselves the “ninja librarians” are mining the mass of information people publish about themselves overseas, tracking everything from common public opinion to revolutions.

The group’s effort gives the White House a daily snapshot of the world built from tweets, newspaper articles and Facebook updates.

The agency’s Open Source Center sometimes looks at 5 million tweets a day. The analysts are also checking out TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms — anything overseas that people can access and contribute to openly.

Big Brother lives.

Collecting information broadcast in the open is not an example of 'big brother'.
