Google Teams Up With CIA to Fund "Recorded Future" Startup Monitoring Websites, Blogs & Twitter Accounts

Investors at the CIA and Google are backing a company called "Recorded Future" that monitors tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts in real time in order to find patterns, events, and relationships that may predict the future. The news comes on amidst Google's so-called "Wi-Spy" scandal, that refers to revelations that Google's Street View cars operating in some 30 countries snooped on private WiFi networks over the last three years.

and I guess it was hot dog vendors, not google earth vans, who were spying on and collecting data from wifi networks all over the country? But I guess in your fantasy world this didn't really happen or maybe we all dreamed it

[Keith Stone]

Fuck the cock suckers behind this. Bunch of immoral pieces of shit taking this world to an evil place.

The man who created Recorded Future, had also created Spotfire BI software and sold it to TIBCO for $195M. Is that amount money not enough to fund his own project, does he also need another fund? It's not about money, it's spying people. Check wiki/Christopher_Ahlberg

revenues are best raised by inept governments by finding more items to tax

[crayonplane]

Well certainly if Agenda 21 is to go through, as well revenues raised for crumbling infrastructure, inventory will have to be taken, Google would seemed ideally positioned for this role, although it is unknown as to whether this is in fact what they were doing, as much is unknown about information sharing arrangements, with Google as well other networking sites.

Not encrypting your wifi is like not locking your car...
