[e-privacy] USA, un nuovo (?) sistema per la "dataveglianza"

[pinna]

anche se l'ho gia' sentito e visto usare, non so se il termine
"dataveglianza" sia gia' entrato nel vostro lessico. in ogni caso, se vi
fa rabbrividire dal punto di vista linguistico, me ne scuso :)

l'articolo e' interessante ma sarei piu' interessato ai vostri commenti,
per capire se e cosa c'e' di nuovo in questa metodologia.

ciao

US plans massive data sweep

Little-known data-collection system could troll news, blogs, even
e-mails. Will it go too far?


The US government is developing a massive computer system that can
collect huge amounts of data and, by linking far-flung information from
blogs and e-mail to government records and intelligence reports, search
for patterns of terrorist activity.

The system - parts of which are operational, parts of which are still
under development - is already credited with helping to foil some plots.
It is the federal government's latest attempt to use broad
data-collection and powerful analysis in the fight against terrorism.
But by delving deeply into the digital minutiae of American life, the
program is also raising concerns that the government is intruding too
deeply into citizens' privacy.
