Investors at the CIA and Google are backing a company called "Recorded Future" that monitors tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts in real time in order to find patterns, events and relationships that may predict the future. The news comes amidst Google's so-called "Wi-Spy" scandal, that refers to revelations that Google's Street View cars operating in some thirty countries snooped on private WiFi networks over the last three years.

HMMMM
The administration wants to add just four words -- "electronic communication transactional records" -- to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval. Government lawyers say this category of information includes the addresses to which an Internet user sends e-mail; the times and dates e-mail was sent and received; and possibly a user's browser history. It does not include, the lawyers hasten to point out, the "content" of e-mail or other Internet communication. Read more...

How might implementation of such capabilities affect "free" press communications and formulation of EU data privacy --storage (ISP custody) and transmission ("cloud computing")-- criteria? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

If yes, the concept of remote PCU supply is finally aligning with a market of millions of thin-client appliances gripped by sweaty persons in a hurry who are indifferent to or ignorant of legal sanctions in the US and the EU supporting third-party data creation, data ownership, data custody, secondary data usage, and its commercialization derived from inexplicable expectations of privacy while "cloud computing" or even consulting a physician.
Chinese VC and SOEs hardly need resort to the subterfuge of freedom fighting in order to circumvent US Constitutional protections, optimize surveillance, and obtain arrests.
I asked the question, because I'm curious how well informed ET readers are about EU legal sanctions supporting third-party data creation, data ownership, data custody, secondary data usage, and its commercialization. And how likely revision of Data Retention Directive will accommodate MNC carriers (e.g. Vodaphone, AT&T, T-mobile) or operators (e.g. GOOG, Facebook, Twitter) and integrate US demands of partnership. The SWIFT boat launch was such a success. I swear, agents of my federal government never cease to amaze me with the expansive, technical sophistication of their community outreach.
