Do you think that Y/A keeps all our Q's & A's and shares this information w/the government for profiling?

Question

gcb: That's true--that's a great point!

Answer 1

ya, i am sure they do~!

Answer 2

Although I don't think so (the government could easily do it themselves just by monitoring it with a few  government Y! answerers) ... we do know Yahoo gives information to the government of China that is used to trap and imprison  dissenters there.

Answer 3

i think they probably,have a system that tags key words,like rob steal,kill,terror.ect ect..and then they can check u out..dont know for sure but i wouldnt put it past them

Answer 4

Absolutely! I think they have unfettered access to whatever they want. Did you ever hear about this situation? Most Americans are naive about what our government is capable of.

Answer 5

No, the government really doesn't care as much as you think it does.

Answer 6

No!

Answer 7

I would say yes probably, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they did.

Answer 8

I think its required to archive the information and if the govt wants it, they have to make it available.

Answer 9

Why wouldn't they ?

No warrant even under "the old system" would ever be needed You supplied all of this of your own free will in a public forum with no reasonable expectation of privacy at all

Would they ?

Sure they would Can they ? Look at the technology in your house and then try to imagine what that technology would be capable of in 20 years

It is just common sense to know that the government and it's agents are playing with computers and technology at least 20 yrs ahead of what you the consumer can buy

Would they bother to do it though ?

That part becomes unlikely - you'd have to say , do or be someone of interest to them

Think of that the only protection we all have to being invaded completely is a profit ratio

There is no point spending money on a person who isn't "interesting" to them in some way

I always knew bean counters would be useful for something one day

Spending money to find out that your shopping list comprises of fish on a monthly basis is not a reasonable expenditure  

Answer 10

Why would they have to share it - it's all on-line and searchable anyway.

Answer 11

Of course they do. They went to court over that and they just save everything in case they ever want to make a case against you. Of course. They have it all, stored and ready to use.

There is no more privacy and protection from Big Brother. Just know it.

Answer 12

yep!
