OMG, love the clip. WTG, ACLU. Thanks for sharing, laprimavera.
@Anon at 9:12: Generally, I don't have a problem with collection and analysis of anonymous(!) data. It could be used for good things.
For instance, the report says in section 4 (only portion I read so far) on pdf page 34/document page 23: "...When the public is highly attentive to an issue, policymakers tend to give high priority to those issues, and policy change becomes more likely."
So, if data-mining reveals public concern about nuclear energy and this would then result in a policy shift from nuclear to alternative energy, for example, I would see that as data being used with good intentions and possibly for good results.
However, section 4 of the report on the public's "nuclear awareness," if you will, ends with this sentence: ... infoveillance and the associated analyses can provide feedback on the nature and breadth of public concerns in ways that can assist in the design and implementation of consent-based facility siting programs.
In combination with the geographic breakdown of public attention, I read that to mean, "We can figure out where people are likely to make the least fuzz over a nuclear (waste storage) site and put it there with less opposition."
So much for good intentions and using data-mining for the common good, however anonymous it might be.
