Well THAT is lovely.
It may be a bit of hyperbole on my part but if they wasted years of time and manpower on taking down Megaupload, how soon until they start targeting individual users of bit torrent clients?

It's more than a little terrifying that they are going to be using information gathers on social networking websites...but why should I be surprised?

While I am sure there could be a VERY minute amount of relevant data mined from this...it makes me think of China, North Korea, Iran and any other government that controls their citizens and monitors them to insure that they are only thinking the right things.

And the people that say "If you have nothing to hide you should not worry" I say "Screw you."

I will NOT live in fear of my government.
