[governance] Social Media Surveillance OK'd by DHS 'Privacy Office'

[Riaz K Tayob]

Except for the hullabaloo that follows developing countries 'censorship' 
and 'abuse of the internet', I would be inclined to unequivocally agree 
with you...

And it is rather trite to argue that 'stoking fears' is sufficient to 
dismiss the point of the article. The point is how are public resources 
used in the 'marketplace of ideas' (to use Justice Black's parlance), in 
the face of rising use of foodstamps, fiscal cliffs, unemployment etc... 
makes the European idea of the 'right to be forgotten' look rather 
appealing methinks...
