It tus out Big Brother is watching ... your social network updates. Post to Twitter or Facebook using hot-button words and phrases like \"pirates,\" \"avalanche,\" or \"home grown\" -- or less obviously threatening terms like \"storm,\" \"aid,\" and \"power\" -- and you may ea the attention of the Department of Homeland Security.
(See a fuller list of the so-called \"Items of Interest\" here.) The \"monitoring terms\" are in a variety of categories, including domestic security, nuclear threats, \"Southwest border violence,\" and, predictably, terrorism. Released by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, they're meant to be used to \"alert officials [to] disturbances to national security right away,\" Mashable reports.
