If only we could all get over these archaic, irrelevant concepts of "privacy" and "freedom" and allow government and law enforcement to track and monitor everything we do, not just on the web, but in the physical world as well, we could end all "bad" things for "good"! The only real concern I have is whether or not my new iMind implantable chip will be able to play MP3s.

Obviously, if they implement the "military style" monitoring suggesting in the article -- not *NECESSARY* IMHO -- THAT would be a privacy issue.

In terms of privacy, it doesn't even look like that's an issue. We're talking public postings, accessible to anybody. So I really don't see there's any violation of privacy at all. A public post is a public post, whether it's a hot girl or a cop looking at it.
Obviously, if they implement the "military style" monitoring suggesting in the article -- not necessarily IMHO -- THAT would be a privacy issue.
