Obama is ‘Mining’ Your Behavior on Social Media



Obama's HHS stores your Internet data
Using your health as an excuse, the Democrats are spying on
and recording your Twitter and Facebook accounts.


Now Big Brother is using the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to “mine” and record your private Facebook and Twitter accounts without your permission. 

Our Masters in Washington claim this new spying is to improve their understanding of social media footprint and to assess how Tweets can be used as “change-agents” for health behaviors.

The NLM, a division of the Obama run Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will have software installed on government computers that will store data from social media as part of a $30,000 project announced last week.



“The world-wide explosion in the use of social media provides a unique opportunity for sampling sentiment and use patterns of NLM’s ‘customers’ and for comparing NLM to other sources of health-related information,” the agency said reports the Washington Free Beacon.

“By examining relevant tweets and other comments,” the contract said, “NLM will gain insights to extent of use, context for which information was sought, and effects of various health-related announcements and events on usage patterns.”

Specifically, NLM will look at the “value of tweets and other messages as teaching tools and change-agents for health-relevant behavior.”

OhMyGov Inc., a media company that specializes in the promotion of government agencies, will be paid $30,660 to monitor social media for NLM for one year.

The company will install software on computers at NLM headquarters in Bethesda, Md. to “maintain a comprehensive ‘universe’ of social media data.” Government bureaucrats will be trained on the software so they can search the database for health-related content.

“Content from Twitter, Facebook, blogs, news sites, discussion boards, video and image sharing sites will be maintained by the Contractor and kept up-to-date in a timely manner and made available for query by Government,” the contract said.

When asked by a vendor if they are interested in storing the data for “historical analysis,” NLM said “Yes.”
