Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 11:12 AMI’m sorry, what? 400 million online conversations were “monitored”? Breach of privacy anyone? What conversations, where, held using what software, and by whom? How can we guarantee the accuracy of data mined from conversations? People might have been saying “Gods I hate Call of Duty!” which might have been picked up as a mention. I call flawed and/or unethical.
