FBI's Facebook Monitoring Leads To Arrest In England
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports that armed police were called to a UK school earlier today after being advised of a potential threat by the FBI. The school stated that the FBI 'raised the alarm after Internet scanning software picked up a suspicious combination of words,' strongly implying that they are carrying out routine, automated surveillance of social networking sites. While in this case it does appear that there may have been a genuine threat, the story nonetheless raises significant privacy concerns."
Nice, deal with the problem not the cause.
Fuck the FBI, they have no right to snoop on me as an Australian citizen. In fact, ASIO (Australia's equivalent of the FBI) doesn't have a right to snoop on it's citizens without a court order.
I bet you're the kind of fucktard that supported illegal wiretapping by the FBI.
