What Your Email Metadata Told the NSA About You (The AtlanticWire)

[KoKo]

17. We here on DU can be pretty sophisticated...but many of us are not so High Tech

and to see that the "Subject Line" of our posts are being monitored is interesting to me.

I have niece and nephew on FaceBook who have their locations tracked and they think it's VERY COOL that wherever they go or eat...if they send a friend a post...that their location is shown and it stays up on Facebook ...Forever. They post everything about themselves...and as they grow older I would worry.

Would many people here on DU want what we did in our Teens and On for all our LIVES being Monitored and Stored in a Data Base for some "Unlimited time? Would we trust that they would DITCH than info EVEN IF CONGRESS TOLD THEM TO DO IT?

Why would you stop something you've been doing that's LEGAL under American Law just because useless CONGRESS told you to do it? WHY....it's such a trove of Information to Track your Buying/Selling/Food/Personal Interaction/Personal Preferences that US Marketing Companies have been having to spend big bucks on "Focus Groups and Marketing Survey's" for YEARS. Now you can just get that Info from the Private Contractors who Collect this Info from us and are Paid by the NSA with WHAT RESTRICTIONS on 2nd PARTY SALES TO ANY COMPANY WHO WANTS TO HAVE ACCESS US TO MANIPULATE US AS CONSUMERS...

DO YOU GET IT? We are DATA MINED...FOREVER and don't know HOW MANY have ACCESS TO THIS INFO....
