This would be old news to us here... if you had had the same horror and contempt back in 2014, when it was happening right in your own back yard? Any chance you read the Union Leader? I'm sure you've heard of it... Monitoring social media By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM New Hampshire Sunday News Highlight the target location and they appear: icons for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites. Each one represents a post or photo from someone at that location at that very minute that can be viewed with a click of the mouse. . This is not science fiction; it's cutting-edge technology. And it could be coming soon to a police department near you. Durham police is believed to be the first department in the state using Geofeedia, a "patented, cloud-based social media monitoring platform." .. According to Geofeedia's web site, it lets users "search, monitor and analyze real-time social media content by location, from anywhere in the world, with a single click." Geofeedia CEO Phil Harris stressed that only information posted publicly can be viewed; if you set your social media accounts and GPS location setting on your mobile device to private, what you post will remain invisible. .. "You can go in and freely search all of these services and get the same data," Harris said. "All we're really doing is making it easier." "Our corporate philosophy is to do good work with our technology." .. Durham Police Chief David Kurz said his department has used Geofeedia three times since it purchased it in April. One use was after a report of an attempted abduction of a University of New Hampshire student; police used Geofeedia to monitor social media for any references to the incident to try to locate possible witnesses. ..Some limits Kurz said Geofeedia does not monitor phone conversations or texting. And he stressed, "Whatever it is that we're seeing is very much public." Harris said his company's tool has already been used to prevent and solve crimes in Arizona; help aid agencies find victims during Hurricane Sandy and the Philippines typhoon; and connect retailers with customers at the Mall of America. .. And right now, Harris said, New York's health department is using it to look for people who might be talking about unexplained fever or other Ebola symptoms, he said. "Their goal is to make sure an epidemic doesn't break out in New York City," he said. .. Not everyone views this technology tool as benevolent. Devon Chaffee, executive director of New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, has concerns. "Yes, this information is public, but the question is, do we really want the police to be gathering and processing this information on community members that aren't suspected of any wrongdoing?" she asked. .. And selectmen in Enfield balked when Police Chief Richard Crate Jr. asked them to approve buying the service. Earlier this month, two selectmen voted against it; the third abstained. "I felt that it's a matter of privacy," said Selectman John Kluge. "That's one of the fundamental rights people have - or ought to have." .. He noted the state Legislature has barred police from using license-plate scanners, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that police have to get warrants to search the contents of cell phones. "I thought this was in the same vein," Kluge said. "It's sort of intruding upon people's homes, in a way." http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20141019/NEWS04/141018987/1022/NEW...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 1, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 1, 2016 While I'm against data mining of anything private keep in mind this is information people are already putting out in the public. Not sure the same rules apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make a point though, this information allows officials in other capacities to target such things as Amber alerts and other public safety awareness situations.

Its public info guys just like the shit you put in your trash can. If they wanted they could pick up everyone's trash and look thru it for signs of terrorism or whatever too. It amazes me so many people would put controversial things on Facebook or internet forums. Edited December 1, 2016 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
