Threats?
I think that if they are doing that, they are wasting time and money on a site like this.
Threats?
Or any threats to the status quo.

That would be f""""" up.
Well I mean that's the biggest threat to any government system. People figuring out that they're being duped and pushing for change.
I hear what you are saying. Having said that, I think the biggest threat is people NOT figuring out they are being duped and NOT pushing for change. That is actually the biggest problem.
It's a website anyone can sign up for. Now to find out our personal contact info - that should take a warrant. Reading a public website? doubt it needs one.
Well, that's the threat to you and me. But that's no threat to the establishment, it rather serves their ends.
The NSA and the FBI have been monitoring the internet for a long time. :roll:
That is true. But don't you think they are wasting their time if they are monitoring a site like this?
No I don't. I've seen some comments on this forum that should be looked into.

Anyone can read it, no doubt about that. What would be the value in monitoring a site like this tho? I really don't think there is anything to be gained.
Its not only you and me, its a threat to the general masses. And actually, it is somewhat of a threat to the establishment because they need some protection from each other.

If all they're looking for is people that might be plotting some sort of violence, joining the Islamic State, planning domestic jihad or something, yes. But keeping an eye on people free from the encumbrances of partisan myopia, people that might be a threat to the status quo, two party corruption, probably not. Such lists could come in handy.
What do you think?

Anything beyond casual examination, like use of computer programs to parse out trends and patterns, should require a warrant. A casual encounter with police is fine, but longterm surveillance requires a warrant.
