US Today

Where lies the worth of fairness? (asked by Shakespeare, or was not)

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a
`cabinet department´ of the United States federal government,
created in response to the September 11 attacks. Its stated
goal is to prepare for, prevent, and respond to domestic
emergencies, particularly terrorism.
The Department of Homeland Security works
in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within, at, and
 outside its borders (with the last allocated a budget of $98.8 billion).
Electronic Privacy Information Center has sent a letter to the FTC
In letter Epic ask about, how the US Dept. of Homeland Security works.

We know that there will be spies, by Homeland Security Agency, spying on Facebook and Twitter users, recording the activity of people who search for terms like human to animal, collapse and also infection, according to an online privacy advocacy group that has sued to peruse the agency's data.
with Timeline, Facebook has once again taken control over the user's data from the user and has now made information that was essentially archived and inaccessible widely available without the consent of the user.
The settlement requires Facebook to give users clear and prominent notice and obtain users' express consent before changing their privacy settings.
I suppose this spy-function is not in the source code, they used to only searching. Now if they really read privacy messages by somehow  technique, they are doing crime.
According to Epic the initiatives were designed to gather information from 'online forums, blogs, public websites, and message boards,'
to store and analyze the information gathered, and then to disseminate relevant and appropriate de-identified information to federal, state, local, and foreign governments and private sector partners.
Epic believes that Homeland Security regularly plans to report their findings to `federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government partners.´
