Pentagon monitoring social networking sites

Another article published early this month in the New Scientist that suggests that the NSA is monitoring people using online resources. This surprises me, or rather bothers me, much less then the article I previously blogged about concenring AT&T new privacy policy. It makes sense that the government would attempt to use people's information on various social networking sites to develop elaborate profiles. It may be completely ridiculous, but lets face it, the information is public so it was bound to happen. Perhaps this is an example of why it is important to be careful when posting information about yourself that is so easily accesible to anyone. (And an argument for providing anonimity protection for people who don't want to be identified with certain posted information on sites that communicate via media.)
