This is the most important sentence I think:
According to the document the Dutch “are looking at marrying the forum data with other social network info, and trying to figure out good ways to mine the data that they have.”
The posts for one individual on one forum are maybe not that interesting. But by connecting this data to the data of his/her other internet activities, you get the total information awareness idea. E.g. Facebook, Gmail, other forums accounts, Whatsapp messages, websites visited etc.

- disgruntledphd2 13y agoAlso known as the "Big Data" approach. Hopefully, they at least understand that there should be differential costs to false positives and negatives.
- arsemouflon 13y agoSounds like something Fravia did between breakfast and brushing teeth. :-) Considering the age of the referenced documents this mechanism should be in place by now.
