I read over this article. I am a bit shocked at the number of seemingly harmless words that the government can use to "flag" you and keep an eye on you. Why is it SO bad to say "pork" or "plot"? Is it just when you use one or two of these words? Or does your account get on that "watch list" only when you use a few of these words at a time? That is a thought-provoking idea, and one that I would like an answer to. If I say "pork" on facebook, maybe I just am enjoying a summer BBQ with my family, why should I be watched? This seems a bit out of hand to me.
