    FBI Want To Scrape Social Networks

    It seems that, in addition to the US legal system stretching the definition of jurisdiction, the FBI now wants to scrape information and intelligence from Social Networks. Indeed, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are already doing it.

    If terrorists are stupid enough to post publicly about their possession of smallpox vaccine, they can't really complain the FBI is reading it. Everyone else can. If their undercover agents were making information public by getting on terrorists' friends lists and "liking" their posts, that would be somewhat more invasive, but again, if you're a terrorist and you friend people you don't know, you can't be surprised when your plans aren't any more secret than my aunt's gallbladder surgery.

    I hope that the feds realise that not everything they read on the web is necessarily true, but it may explain why Waldo is on their No-Fly list.

    The Wikipedia entry seems to neglect to mention that the question, "Where's Wally?", was frequently, and rather ritualistically, shouted at various Rock Festivals in the UK in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. I bet the Feds wished they'd had something like Social Networks back then.

    This is very scary.
