The White House And the Web

The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama’s promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet.

That is the opening para of an article in the Washington Times, [1] that would be all over every paper and TV news station in the country, with commentators waxing outraged over the Stalinist tactics being employed where there but a Republican in the WHite House. As it is, they’ll yawn, harumph once or twice and move on.
