Real question: are anti-regime comments on FR being monitored, & individual FReepers’ attitudes noted, by the NSA po-po? Is it as risky as doing so on Facebook?
Short answer on that is YES!

To think otherwise is truly a level of ignorance that belies any good FReeper or conspiracy nutcase.

A few years back an old FReeper posted a playful comment about Obemba. In less than 24-hours the FBI thugs were knocking on his door. They had interpreted his comment as being ‘threatening’. Does that answer your question?
