Does the FBI monitor DU?

[_Jumper_]

I stumbled upon this comment regarding DU:

"It's also interesting to read your assessments because the FBI does monitor the site...!"

[mr_hat]

1. Pay no attention to that brown Crown Vic. Move along, nothing to see...

[Qutzupalotl]

2. Where did you find that comment? n/t

[_Jumper_]

5. www.israelforum.com

A poster in the I/P forum claimed that DU has a reputation for being anti-Israel so I did an internet search on the issue and stumbled upon that.

[DenverDem]

3. Not only do they monitor the site

they probably have a boiler room that posts inflammatory messages.

[ComerPerro]

4. And that pizza van has been there for three days

How long does it take to deliver a pizza?

"They're on to us!"

[Florida_Geek]

7. the Admins live on take out Pizza

so the serivce just move a little closer. :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

6. I'm sure they monitor free republic too...

Quite honestly, there's little else to find here on DU except for a bunch of people who call Bush* a bunch of names and make justified comments or rants about his insane policies... big deal. Anything that goes too far or suggests something vile does get promptly deleted. Administrators rule!

Of course, if someone registered into DU with the user name "Fallen Angel", you'd bet the FBI would take a closer look. Or on free republic... understandable, given what that twit has been doing...

And of course, ever since sex threads were banned, maybe they got bored and left. :evilgrin:

edit: spelling

19. NOOOOOOO!

:scared:

[kixot]

8. I'd say that sounds about right.

I'm betting the NSA cruches the site daily for "keywords".

[mobuto]

10. Who cares?

They're welcome to monitor us, as long as they don't have any more pressing business to do (you know, like fight crime or interdict terrorists). The same goes for Freepers, neo-Nazis, Ba'ath Party members and anybody else.

We have nothing to hide - this is a public bulletin board where every message is deliberately made accesible to absolutely everyone.

If you disagree with us, please read what we have to say and maybe you'll change your mind.

13. They are looking for hookers

just like they did in New Orleans the weeks before and the days after 9/11. They will look everywhere for hookers.

[_Jumper_]

20. I was primarily just curious

And the FBI should be fighting crime, not monitoring peaceful internet sites.

[onethatcares]

31. can I get a big Amen to that,

If we have to start coaching or second guessing our thoughts on a public board, we've lost it all.

[Cat Atomic]

11. Well, I can tell you Rove isn't monitoring it.

If he was, he wouldn't be stepping in shit everytime he makes one of his brilliant© political moves.

How hard were we all laughing a few weeks ago when the "genius" put his amnesty plan out there? Brilliant©, Carl! Brilliant©!

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. I hope they do

they might learn something. As a matter of fact, I've got enough evidence on my hard drive to convict this entire misadministration. I would gladly share this information with anyone who is interested.

[AgadorSparticus]

35. wonder, you crack me up! ROFL

[Kamika]

15. I'm positive they "know" about it

Same with FR.

Doubt they do anything big

[waterman]

16. Half of 'em are probably on our side at this point anyway

[blondeatlast]

25. I suspect the CIA mostly is--talk about dissed...

[RobertSeattle]

17. Intesting idea

Since a search engine could obviously poke through DU pretty easily, I wonder if any websites like this do one of those "password" prompts where a human has to enter the words in a graphic to defeat automatons.

[Zero Gravitas]

18. I hope so

it would tie up a couple of agents full time to read all the posts and report back to Attorney General Asshat. Thats two less agents inflitrating anti-war groups, political activist groups etc.

If Big Brother is reading :hi: tell Asshat and the unelected fraud squatting in the White house (that's Our Great Leader George W. Bush for any DU rookies) that I said they can both Fuck Off and come Jan 20 2005 they can crawl back under their rocks!

[northofdenali]

26. Wonder if the FBI thinks calico cats are evil, like their boss...

NOT

I've got a pretty little calico they can spy on while I type! :hi:

[YNGW]

21. Unlikely

It would be easier just to hack into the server, get the names of the people on this site, then track them down as needed.

[AgadorSparticus]

22. at leat ONE person in gov't is listening! ;)

i stand by anything i say. i have nothing to hide. monitor away...

[shivaji]

23. Unless someone is posting to bodily harm the president,

there is nothing to be concerned about. Hopefully the
FBI or Secret Service has some type of filtering software
so that they do not have to waste tax payer dollars reading
every post on DU.

[HereSince1628]

27. Actually, advocacy of civil unrest will also raise their attention...

if it involves harm to people or property.

[MrSlayer]

24. I hope so!

Hi!

[radwriter0555]

28. Good. maybe they'll learn what true americans look like.....

consider it educational.

[waterman]

29. There are far more militant threads than little old DU for them to worry

about.

[waterman]

30. actually meant threats, but what the hay

[mike_c]

32. MDKSI PPAKE SOEDJ SOWKA WPEID SOSOW QPIDO...

[Cleita]

33. Well, I discovered all kinds of spyware on my previous

computer. Whether it's the FBI or just some A's trying to sell me something I don't know.

[Columbia]

34. Yes... I'm watching you...

:freak:

[leesa]

36. Where else are they going to find out what's going on?

Does the bear shit in the proverbial woods? Is the Pope Catholic, etc., etc...
