Facebook. Twitter. Foursquare. They ain't strangers to you right?
Somehow after coming across this comic, I kinda conjured up a conspiracy theory about social media. Food for thought! Here goes..
Conspiracy Theory:
Do you know why US has so many innovative companies in the market that are seemingly "funded" by VCs with obscene valuation numbers? VCs are just the hands but the mastermind could be..
America is known for its secrecy with military intelligence like you know, Area 51. Oops, how did I know about this "secret"? Anyway, there might be something ongoing behind the scene in the US army that they have known of means to extract intelligence but it should be sugar coated to look as though they have no military agenda. So this probably explains why the sudden emergence and focus on social media in recent years.. Here are some objectives of the various social media websites and their functions for intelligence gathering:
Simple, to have a macro view of you interaction. What's more? The newly improved FB website has a tracklist of your actions. That's totally, it.
Trying to get funding for your terrorist activities? No sweat! Checking your LinkedIn account is as easy as ABC with your network of possible businessmen or VCs all listed there.
Exasperated at your foiled bomb plans or tired of hiding in that manhole? Venting your frustrations in less that 140 characters will do the trick in that short moment of anger. Once your position is in, they'll getcha!
Checking into a hotel might put yourself in great danger. Furthermore, money should be better spent to get more gun powder to load your ammo than soaking yourself in the jacuzzi. Foursquares not only allows you to check-in to Hilton, but also the hotdog cart near you. They will check you out in no time.
The newest kid on the block, providing better categorization of the people you know with acquaintances, friends, family but you can rename them easily to say, bombers. There are many under you and G+ makes sorting easy for you but easier for them to target you.
