    Default Feds consider going undercover on social network sites

    The next friend request you receive might come from the FBI.

    The Obama administration has considered sending federal police undercover on social networking Web sites including Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.

    A confidential U.S. Department of Justice presentation on social networking sites made public Tuesday said that online undercover work can help agents to "communicate with suspects," "gain access to non-public info," and "map social relationships."

    Federal police agencies organized under the Justice Department include the FBI, the U.S. Marshals, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    The 33-page presentation noted that Twitter has a "stated policy of producing data only in response to legal process," while saying that Facebook is "often cooperative with emergency requests."

    You think they don't monitor those too?

    They aren't "considering" it. I'm pretty sure they're already doing it.

    They are not considering it. They are doing it.

    thats why i dont care. If what i am doing online is that important or secretive, expect it to be encrypted with PGP.

    the government is already performing internet surveillance, but I am guessing it is harder to monitor social networking sites because of the ridiculous volumes of data and that 99% of the data never leaves the servers. The only way is to get it from the inside.

    Not unless FB has a master account that can view all profiles regardless of security....
