We have recently learned of an organization that collects information on Internet users to benefit law enforcement, FBI, and other paying customers. Their website lists their abilities of subversive surveillance website, such as...

Identifying websites owners with bogus registration information- Tracing anonymous e-mail- Monitoring a person's activity on message boards- looking for software cracks posted online- Locating piracy trading sites- Security testing networks- Consulting on privacy issues."

They further go on to explain how they gather opinions held by people on the Internet:

"We have developed a solution to this classic problem that revolves around NOT asking people their opinions. Instead, we gather peoples opinions, comments and actions "IN THE WILD". This is done by identifying appropriate message boards, discussion groups, and e-mail communities germane to the topic. People's real posts and conversations are quietly gathered for a predefined period of time."

One thing is certain. This company that is a major player among the prominent businesses, governments and law enforcement agencies, is one of many around this Internet World doing the same thing. The Internet is monitored by so many, and recordings made of so much, that everybody that enters into it, is going to be categorized according to their activity. When you figure in the Pentagon, the CIA, and the US Government concerns, you must be certain that everything that you do is known here.
