fucking incredible, on so many levels, and of course our mainstream media is barely reporting it. the fucking volcano buried this story.

because government is limited by law regarding data mining and databases. it's not the first stunt of this kind
the more they know about us (it's at mass level how they work, not individual) the easier we are to control and manipulate

this all cracks me up - twitter users think their tweets are SOOOO valuable to humanity lol

what a waste of time and space

twitter users didn't have a word in it
most of those who know about it are frustrated and don't want it happening

And... The point behind this is? 99.99% of tweets are made by teenage twats telling each other when they are taking shits and whatnot.

those kids might find out the point when they'll grow up and try to appear as role models so they can get a position somewhere

Probably the intentions all along, same goes for the other 'social' sites that all came into play right as I.D. cards were rejected by the masses. People are silly to kick up a massive fuss about 'privacy' and being watched, only to willingly to do it through a seperate business. Some obvious facts there, feel free to mix in a foil hat and paranoia

Twitter is dump anyway, it manifests the greatest ratio of 'self-importance : actual value'

[hackman]

who gives a shit

fuck twitter, again

[DRTY]

Lol, I think they're going to be horribly disappointed.
