DHS forced to release list of words that could get you spied on

[tinydancer]

This list is outrageous. Words include "pork", "cloud" and "Mexico".

Wait till you read the list. Break out your rolaids. Run out for Immodium. DHS has gone insane. Basically we're all toast.



" The list has been posted online by the Electronic Privacy Information Center - a privacy watchdog group who filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act before suing to obtain the release of the documents.

In a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence, the centre described the choice of words as 'broad, vague and ambiguous'.

They point out that it includes 'vast amounts of First Amendment protected speech that is entirely unrelated to the Department of Homeland Security mission to protect the public against terrorism and disasters.'

DHS HAS to monitor the Internet? And just WHY is that?

A Democrat Lawmaker calls that "Spying" and I agree with her:
Lawmaker demands Homeland Security stops Internet spying — RT

A congresswoman from California went after the Department of Homeland Security this week, calling their practice of monitoring social media “outrageous” and demanding that the DHS do something else with their money.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-California), had tough words for the DHS during a Homeland Security subcommittee hearing in Washington on Thursday. In particular, Rep. Speier said she was “outraged” that the agency had spent millions of dollars on a private contractor to monitor social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and additionally keep an eye on news sites including Wired, WikiLeaks and the Drudge Report.
Speier specifically called for the DHS to abolish their monitoring program immediately, and in her testimony she cited an Electronic Privacy Information Center request to “suspend the collection of public reaction and reports to policy proposals that reflect adversely on DHS or the government.”

Ditto Mad Scientist --- The only terrorists you're gonna catch having open dialogue on the internet are 16 year olds who will be facing 20 to 30 years for conspiracy to engage in terroristic acts...

i don't disagree with your position. however, the current landscape calls for monitoring internet chatter...if they are going to test babies' milk at the airport...they best watch internet conversations. Now the question of effectiveness or appropriate is a different issue and I would agree requires scrutiny. For the record the entire DHS should be dismantled IMHO of course.

I second that. I see no reason for the FBI, the CIA AND the DHS.

 

[ClosedCaption]

If dhs asked for it it must be a good reason. Shame

 

[zzzz]

I believe it is a word in context or conjunction with other words or a phrase that will flag you. Just like typing an incomplete sentence grammar check would flag the sentence. The chatter is what counts not the individual words.

Basicly, the obamaturd socialist regime just wants to squash free speech. But the libtards on here will still defend the dweeb.

How about "Watermelon" "Ribs" "Chicken" "Bassaball" and "DogBurgers"...are they on the list?

If we go by previous attacks (which would be wise), the words "allah, Muslim, Islam, mosque, brotherhood, holy war, jihad and infidel" should be on the list. I mean they were all present in some form for the last 30 or 40 attacks, large and small, all over the world. It's smart to let the past teach us, but this administration is more interested in political correctness. Someone talking about the actual language in Obamacare is more likely to be reported and taken as a threat than someone talking about serving allah and going after infidels. Sad what we are becoming.

Yeah, more Government is the only answer, save us from ourselves. No Wait! Come on, I have at least 100 concerns of my own that I want us all to spend money on. How come NSA, isn't on the list, or incompetence, or BLT? Can I get an Egg Salad Sandwich with Bacon, without triggering an investigation. Can I say "Boo"? Uh-Oh! Here's one for the list.... "Salami".

 

[alan1]
