This article is interesting to me. It talks about how the government now has a list of around 500 words that are considered "bad" words. If someone posts them on their facebook, or tweets them on their twitter, the government will then monitor their accounts. Some of the words are as simple as subway or San Diego.
This is just crazy. Is the government seriously that interested in people's social network sites? Do you really think that terrorists or drug dealers would tweet about what they plan to do? I guess the government is trying to keep us "safe" but to me it is just another way to control our lives. I wonder if they are monitoring me. I know I have used the word subway since my husband works at a subway. I have also used infection when my daughter had an ear infection. Sorry to tell them, but this stay at home mom has no intention of blowing up any buildings or anything equally insane.
Oh no now you really crossed the line and wrote "blowing up any buildings or anything equally insane." They're probably watching you right now. Seriously, you are so right. The government is just getting to be too much of a watch dog.
