Revealed: Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don't want
the government spying on you (and they include 'pork', 'cloud' and
'Mexico')

Department of Homeland Security forced to release list following
freedom of information request
Agency insists it only looks for evidence of genuine threats to
the U.S. and not for signs of general dissent

Revealing: A list of keywords used by government analysts to scour the
internet for evidence of threats to the U.S. has been released under
the Freedom of Information Act

The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list
of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and
online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al
Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly
innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds
new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the
internet searching for domestic and external threats.

The words are included in the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop
Binder' used by workers at their National Operations Center which
instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on
DHS and response activities'.

Department chiefs were forced to release the manual following a House
hearing over documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act
lawsuit which revealed how analysts monitor social networks and media
organisations for comments that 'reflect adversely' on the government.

However they insisted the practice was aimed not at policing the
internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of
general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.

As well as terrorism, analysts are instructed to search for evidence
of unfolding natural disasters, public health threats and serious
crimes such as mall/school shootings, major drug busts, illegal
immigrant busts.

The list has been posted online by the Electronic Privacy Information
Center - a privacy watchdog group who filed a request under the
Freedom of Information Act before suing to obtain the release of the
documents.

In a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-
terrorism and Intelligence, the centre described the choice of words
as 'broad, vague and ambiguous'.

Of course, if you use the words 'house', 'prices', and mortgage', you
get an e-mail asking you to subscribe to the Daily Mail!

Well, when I typed it in Google I got details of a 'Guided Language
Acquisition Design' resource pack. But I'm a retired teacher (not an
elementary teacher, by the way), and have other things to occupy my
mind.

(Sometimes I annoy rather stupid people on the internet.)

P.S. I take it that my original comment went straight over your
head.....though British readers might understand it.
