I thought we'd told you guys.
Facebook, Twitter, the CIA, FBI, NSA, Homeland Security and some guy named Bobby bought ATS a few years back. We actually only hold 2% of the company.
So we aren't associated with the, we are them

We have been talking and speculating about these types of facilities and capabilities for a long time on ATS.
I am only surprised that they are finally admitting some of it.
But I assure you, if they are telling us this much, they know far more than this. If this is unclassified, what is still classified?
They have probably been recording everyone's private life through microphones, cell phones, web cameras, etc etc for years now. Just imagine that.
You think oh I can go outside away from these technologies and have some privacy, but are you so sure? How advanced really are spy satellites these days? Can they look through your walls even with infrared or other spectrum when you are in your bedroom?
If we were in Las Vegas, I would be betting Yes...edit on 4-11-2011 by muzzleflash because: (no reason given)

Most of us already knew sites like FB and Twitter were being watched. It's nice to see them admit it. But most people will not care, or will not even hear about it.
We also know sites like ATS is watched very closely. They are among us now, as members and possibly Mods. They are waiting and watching for the next Jared Loughner and contributing on the forums as trolls and shills.
I have nothing to hide. They know I am not a threat.

that thought crossed my mind as well, what better way to monitor than to create a site like ATS and pretend they are on our side ?!
A thought-terminating cliché is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance. Though the phrase in and of itself may be valid in certain contexts, its application as a means of dismissing dissention or justifying fallacious logic is what makes it thought-terminating.
