Expect, in fact, anybody — now more than ever. Beyond the feds, marketers and cops, there is a growing customer base for Internet-monitoring contractors who sift through personal details readily available on the Internet.
"Monitor large public events, social unrest, gang communications and criminally predicated individuals," suggests the online pamphlet for the BlueJay browser tool, which reads like a mission statement for George Orwell's Ministry of Truth. "Identify potential witnesses and indicators for evidence."
"We could stop bad things from happening if we install cameras in everyone’s bedroom in America," Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, told NBC News. "Which trade-off are we willing to accept? Every word, every fleeting thought we type into a search engine and every product we think about buying gets recorded by a large database, not to help us but to exert power over us."
"Spying is the nature of our society," Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt said recently an an event in New York City.

Mainstream media can't be counted on any longer, like the Mothers they're only in it for the money.
The ACLU however is your friend.
"Behavior" denies the subjects equal status in language.
It's authority behavior.
How long did we live as hunter/gatherers on the African savanna in groups of 20 to 100?
If you share something publicly on social media, "you should expect the world to read it,"
I sure hope so.
FUCK OFF OBAMA!
The advent of called ID and cell phones made pretext calls for PI's almost anachronistic. However, @ the same time along came social media, more than making up for it. When I'm doing background work on someone it's almost like a kid in a candy store sometimes.
AllenS, Lol!
Twitter firehose.
Sexy.
I'm retired, financially secure and having a great time.
I can say whatever the fuck I want.
Finally, I understand my mother's attitude. She's 87 years old. Whenever she says something outrageous (which she enjoys doing), she responds to criticism by saying:
"I can say whatever I want. What are they going to do to me?"
I'm headed for the grave in the not to distant future. Fuck the censors.
"Madness is genius?" Lem, did I tell you to stick to the Dali quote? Was I right? Does a bear sh.....
"Imperfection is beauty . . ."
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."

I think I'm going to give Ms. Monroe one mark out of four, and that's being somewhat charitable.
I'm a big fan of the Dalí quote, too.
Just sayin'.
I picked it up from a Joe Maddon's press conference.
How are the playoffs going? Did the Montreal Expos make it in this year?
Dzerzhinsky and Beria are smiling, somewhere.
In the Twilight Zone.

Tell yourself that next time you're mugged.

If the Ms. Monroe of, say, 1955 asked you for something, you'd give her whatever she asked!
"Spying is the nature of our society," Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt said recently
And Eric Schmidt is now publicly someone who has something to hide, bless his heart.
Eric Schmidt went from being CEO of Novell, historically an incredibly conservative & Mormon organization to Google, which is neither. Thanks to an understanding (for now) missus, he is now in the process of spending every dime of his billions on all the good-looking pussy he can find.
I take comfort in the fact that someone in the inner circle of Google actually has a lot to hide, and may actually fight for privacy for his own benefit as well as ours.
It is my understanding that Marilyn Monroe was very intelligent. She only pretended to be stupid. They tell men to pick an intelligent wife, because your babies are going to look like you and think like your wife. I was reminded of this when looking at the latest royal couple. I think Monroe should have got pregnant as often as possible. She had both things going for her.
