The US government is watching our every tweet, but don't worry, it's just to get a "situational awareness" of the world. Since 2010, the Department of Homeland Security has been monitoring "publicly available" information such as forums, Twitter accounts, and websites like WikiLeaks, Facebook and Hulu (what? - "Hey boss, I'm just monitoring these SNL clips for classified information disguised as terrible jokes"). So millions of people saying things that may or may not be true makes the job of the government easier? Not surprisingly, the DHS seems a little confused about how long it holds on to the information it trawls: a spokesperson says it doesn't hold on to Internet traffic data; the document pertaining to this initiative says it does, but "for no more than five years." Oh, whew.
