Boston police set to buy social media monitoring software - The Boston Globe
'The software would be able to search blogs, websites, chat rooms, and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. '
'In response to the ACLU report, the social media platforms either cut or reduced Geofeedia’s access to public user posts. '
'Civil liberty watchdogs called the department’s plan for high-tech social media and Internet monitoring “alarming” and slammed the department for a perceived lack of transparency in selecting the software. '
'Guglielmi said that when Chicago police want to monitor publicly available social media posts, officials are required to seek authorization from a lawyer with the department. '
'Chicago police use the software for investigations and large special events.“The Chicago Police Department monitors open source social media to ensure overall public safety,” department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. '

Well, does this mean services like tor will become safe havens for microblogging and forum platforms? The idea of the police profiling all electronic posts, communications, etc is a scary premise. It seems like Orwell's 1984 will continue to be an instruction manual instead of a book of what not to do into order to maintain a healthy nation state.
