A privacy advocacy group has swayed Congress to hold a hearing next week into the Department of Homeland Security’s practice of monitoring social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as media reports and organizations, including The Drudge Report.
“The Department of Homeland Security’s monitoring of political dissent has no legal basis and is contrary to core First Amendment principles,”

But, unfortunately this to is just more kabuki theater!
"The Congressional hearing, DHS Monitoring of Social Networking and Media: Enhancing Intelligence Gathering and Ensuring Privacy, will be held Thursday February 16th. However, it is already apparent where the House subcommittee for intelligence and counter-terrorism stands on the matter. As reported by Reuters, the top two members of the subcommittee, Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), wrote to DHS Intelligence Chief Caryn Wagner last month, pressing her to more carefully monitor users’ posts on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, in order to help detect 'current or emerging threats.' As we have also previously reported, The DHS has openly announced that it is actively monitoring social media for signs of 'social unrest', in a bid to pre-empt any sign of social dislocation within the United States."
You want to know where the fvcking "social unrest" is dumbasses? You outta know, you're creating it! Fvcking Gestapo thugs!
