US warns of Second Life terrorist threat
Quote:Terrorists may be using virtual worlds such as Second Life to meet and exchange ideas, security experts warned today.

The claims were made by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), part of the US intelligence community which looks at developing technologies.

"The virtual world is the next great frontier and in some respects is still very much a Wild West environment," the organisation said.

"Unfortunately, what started out as a benign environment where people would congregate to share information or explore fantasy worlds is now offering the opportunity for religious/political extremists to recruit, rehearse, transfer money and ultimately engage in information warfare or worse with impunity."

IARPA recommends setting up 'Red' teams of intelligence operatives who would investigate virtual worlds and track potential threats.

The CIA already has a presence in Second Life which it uses it for meetings and training.

However, the IARPA report has been questioned by privacy campaigners. Jim Dempsey, policy director at the Center for Democracy and Technology, pointed out that the government had said the same things about mobile phones and the internet.

"They want to control this technology and make it even easier to tap than it already is," he said.

"When the government is finished, every new technology becomes a more powerful surveillance tool than the technology before it."

I don't know, but maybe they'll get tired of me calling them "FUCKING PAWNS AND EXPENDABLE FUCKING SLAVES" and they'll go away.

...but probably not. Why should they realize they are contributing to the slavery and dumbing down of their family, friends and fellow humans? I mean, after all, they are FUCKING PAWNS AND EXPENDABLE FUCKING SLAVES and don't know any better. They may as well believe the lies they are being told by the "security experts" and their masters so they can sleep at night because they are FUCKING PAWNS AND EXPENDABLE FUCKING SLAVES.

...but what do I know. I'm just a crazy conspiracy nut that investigates and questions everything unlike FUCKING PAWNS AND EXPENDABLE FUCKING SLAVES serving the New World Order and not realizing it.
