Orwell's "big brother" is a lot more active than a lot of people realize.

Washington D.C. (PRWEB) December 23 2003--The International Bank Activities Reform Commission is revealing to the general public in the United States that Chat rooms, Bulletin Boards and Message Boards run by Lycos, Microsoft, and Yahoo such as Raging Bull and others are being used by government agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Bank, the FBI, the CIA, Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security to spy on Americans without their knowledge.

Luckly for us, S.I. is not on the list. Phew. <g>

This revelation should cause serious concerns about the freedom of expression. Anything is possible when government agencies spy on people. What's next? A knock on the door?
