What could be more fun today than following the hearing on Homeland Security spying on Facebook and Twitter?
It is a sad state of affairs that Homeland Security admits that it seeks intelligence on Facebook.
Further, it spies on news reporters on Facebook and Twitter, according to its written testimony. It also admits that its operatives use fake identities on Facebook and Twitter.
Homeland Security, however, stops short of being totally honest. The ACLU makes it clear that Homeland Security is also spying on peace activists and veterans on Facebook and Twitter.
Who is spying on you on Facebook and Twitter? General Dynamics won the contract.

ACLU: Facebook, Twitter and DHS, which one of these things is not like the others: http://www.aclu.org/blog/technology-and-liberty/facebook-twitter-and-dhs-which-one-these-things-not-others
Hearing: Ooops! Ms. Mary Ellen Callahan, Homeland Security's chief privacy officer, make a slip during the testimony: "We don't care about First Amendment speech ..."
