The NSA has been graphing American’s social networks and plotting them as they do organized crime since at least 2010, according to the latest published Edward Snowden leak.
The highly secretive intelligence agency has been mapping out American citizens’ social connections – identifying associates, determining locations, and logging who they talk to – by taking advantage of loosened rules previously meant to restrict surveillance actions.
As far back as November, 2010, the agency authorized spies to conduct ‘large-scale graph analysis on very large sets of communications metadata without having to check foreignness,’ the New York Times revealed Saturday.

The answer is, muslim jihadists are not their enemies — we are.
Sometimes it pays to have good friends in low places :-)
Or...
Were they ordered to stand down on that info?
Good questions. I am just cynical enough of government, to think both could be true.
Indeed...
You’re a bit too optimistic and naive with that comment.
You really don’t think they don’t look at FreeRepublic as if it is a “Social Network”?
I suspect these people who have exposed their entire life and those of their loved ones on social media will come to regret that very much.
Recently I saw a posting where the mother of a young girl wrote paragraphs and paragraphs about her daughter’s first day at school, including her daughter’s name and the school’s name and city. And many pics of her daughter outside and inside the school, wearing her backpack, etc.
I’m sure the mother and the girl’s Grandparents are cooing, “Isn’t that cute,” etc.
Some people are just idiots!
Then again, just the fact that you and I are on FR undoubtedly has us on a “special” list.
Yes that's where most folks under 30 get their information. Best to leave those to the "progressives" to educate them....
I was audited last year. Too late for me :( Probably get audited this year too. My father (who has cancer) has been fighting the IRS for 3 years in a case. Of course, he has attorneys and such..but, this year, he found out he is being audited again. *sigh*
My chest swells with pride :)
Yep.
and THIS is another reason I use Tor-Guard.
Well, the FBI does interdict numerous terrorist plots so it seems to me that the second option is more likely.
Ping.
Obama has found it very easy to advance his narrow ideological agenda of failure-prone Marxism.
4 years after Obama conned his Democrats into passing the Federal takeover of the cash cow of Medical Insurance, the PC, Doormat Republicans are finally timidly suggesting defunding that Federal takeover.
Without the weak, PC, Doormat Republicans Boehner and McConnell being stupidly kept in their respective leadership positions by truly cowardly House and Senate Members, Obama Medical Insurance “Care” Takeover would have been defunded long ago.
The primal yearning of the 47 % who pay no personal Federal Income tax is to belong to a tribe where all of their choices are dictated to them by their arrogant tribal leader.
This a common trait of those who have low self-esteem.
In that sense, Obamanation is truly a cult.
Freedom is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) Exemption or liberation from slavery or imprisonment.
3.) Liberty of choice or action.
Most of the 47 % riding in the “free” wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.
They thus feel safe.
Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) The state of being exempt from the domination of others or from restricting circumstances; freedom.
5.) The power of voluntary choice: freedom from necessity.
6.) Individual Liberty: Freedom from restraint in the performance of rights outside of government control.
Most people who are getting a free ride in the wagon where 47 % pay no personal Federal Income Taxes, are terrified of making a voluntary choice.
The 47 % would prefer that they be under government control where the choices are made for him.
All of this societal wussiness has made it very easy for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, to advance his narrow ideological agenda of European-style, failure-prone, Marxism in spite of PC, Doormat Republican token “opposition.”
BTW, unlike taxes, Federal Obama ‘care’ Insurance charges can be increased EVERY YEAR to whatever % the present and future arrogant leaders of Obamanation wants.
BTW, BTW, the free-loading 47 % will always vote for the Candidate for POTUS approved by Obamanation.
What are social network accounts? It sounds so - I don’t know, weird .. .
Things like facebook and twitter, I think.
Kind of like Benghazi maybe?
