Does this mean, for every person traveling, the feds can identify your social network activity and detect thought-crime? I'm interested in how they already knew which accounts belonged to who -- and how they automatically detected them as 'threats'.
- RandallBrown 15y agoif you say "destroy america" in your tweet, it's probably going to get flagged. Odds are good the guy has his real name on his profile somewhere or a way of finding it. I know I do.

I'm pretty sure "destroy" and "America" would raise a flag in it's system. Furthermore, finding out who accounts on twitter belong to is often fairly trivial since a good deal of people use their actual names and if not that use pseudonyms that are easily linked.
- smokeyj 15y agoBecause their name is linked on Twitter? What's to stop someone from making an account under my name?
