A multinational security firm '/*Raytheon*/' has secretly developed
software called '*/RIOT/*', capable of tracking people's movements and
predicting future Behavior by mining data from social networking websites.
The multi billion dollar company, didn't want its concept video
revealed, but theGuardian
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2013/feb/10/raytheon-software-tracks-online-video>posted
it anyway. Raytheon has not yet sold RIOT to any clients but has been
shared with the US government as part of a joint research project to
develop a Big Data system capable of surveilling large parts of the
population.

The software can also pull metadata from pictures taken to pinpoint a
user’s location when the picture was taken. From this and other location
data taken from applications i.e Foursquare, the software can predict
future movements of users.

The video shows how Riot works on a sample Raytheon staff member,
tracking his regular visits to Washington Nationals Park and a local
gym. RIOT creates unique profiles from publicly available data,
including details like your friends, and where you’ve been and at what
time. A spider diagram even tracks his relationships with other people
online.
