CIA Invests in Software Firm Monitoring Blogs, Twitter
"Wired magazine has revealed the investment arm of the Central Intelligence Agency has invested in a software firm called Visible Technologies that specializes in monitoring social media sites, including blogs, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Wired reporter Noah Shachtman writes, "America's spy agencies want to read your blog posts, keep track of your Twitter updates—even check out your book reviews on Amazon."
We already knew this was going to happen, yes?
It's so very "1984"
