Re: @moiety
@Graham Marsden - Agreed. Like Charlie Hebdo where they called off monitoring 6 months before. But automated monitoring *could* become a powerful tool for good, if used properly. Could help relevant departments deploy warrants and resources where they are most needed.
I'm not privy to any secrets; but I'm pretty sure that the technology is still being developed, so the potential is there to be able to identify possible problems before they happen. Privacy is largely fucked anyway...the spooks aren't doing anything that Google aren't. It is as it is. So I can at least hope for a couple of silk purses out of the deal.
