You know...I hardly find this surprising...and from the sounds of it, they've been doing it for some time already.

Data mining isn't new. I'm slightly surprised that they would put this much work into it though because it easily results in information being wrongly linked together and arresting innocent people based off of that information.

But since we are talking about the internet here, it should just be a hugely detailed, cross-referenced index of porn. SWEET!

Oh goody! Dubya can get a detailed report about my lack of a life. 
You act like the US government actually cares if they arrest innocent people.

The question is, would information obtained from the internet in such a manner hold up in a court of law?

The good thing is that this doesn't matter because the existence of the Internet as we know it is currently threatened by communication companies anyway.

I wonder if the Cm has ever been redflagged. I mean we post a lot of messages, maybe it appears suspicious.

And yeah... maybe I'm crazy, but I honestly think that the government much rather be arresting the actual Robert William Fisher than, say, someone else with the same first and last name. They ought to be able to come up with a more efficient way of snooping.
