U.S. Gov To Spider Internet
HopeSeekr of xMule writes "Perhaps as one of the first high profile uses of Alexa's WebSearch Platform, the U.S. government plans to search, link and reference every news site, blog and email on the Internet, using sophisticated AI codenamed ADVISE to do the correlations. Unlike traditional dataveilance like Echelon, ADVISE aims to find terrorists before they strike and even deduce their motivations in wanting to commit their crimes. Part of the breakthrough is a way for humans to view data as 3D holographic images with tech recently used at the Superbowl."
Yes, it does make a difference. An investment banker killing a gay a colleague over a promotion isn't going to keep gay people from becoming bankers. A man killing a gay man to show gay people everywhere that they aren't welcomed in 'his' town is going to scare gay people out.
After all, I am strangely colored.
