US Government Monitoring Public Internet in Real Time

- gibybo 13y agoDon't tell the feds, but I've also been monitoring the public internet in real time (reading Twitter) for years.
- brown9-2 13y agoWithin 15 or so minutes, someone somewhere noticed the tweets, and informed someone who knew Hayden. What a dumb story. Former government officials who do a lot of press interviews have staff that monitor the press!

Someone noticed the tweets and informed Hayden. We don't seem to have any further information so jumping to conclusions seems silly.
