Intelligence Community is getting social

CIASpyspace, Spookbook, and MySpy are just few of the names that the blogosphere has been jokingly throwing around about the new CIA “A-Space” project. A-Space, in case you haven’t heard of it yet, is the intelligence community’s first (?) foray into social networking. Lots of ink has been spilled about the project [1] [2] [3] [4], and we’ve seen lots of silly comments about the project, like questions of flirting and dating vs. data analysis improvements.

We all know that the big brother is always watching us. This is another example that it is not only through wiretapping ("eavesdropping"). Well, call it what you want. It is illegal. It is sad to see that in the name of democracy and its freedoms abroad, we are losing many of our democratic freedoms here, in our own land.
